Following in the footsteps of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Helen Levitt has led me to my own beat in street photography.
Shooting around the world, I try to capture images that alter our awareness, puncture pretension and mine irony from surface appearances
My aim is to offer warmth and wit, and the wily truth, within revelatory geometries. My images lodge in the hidden interstices of perception: what people look at, but don’t see, the beautiful yet strange, the real but surreal, the quotidian yet quintessential.
Often, we don’t see what we might, but the camera does.
My many solo exhibition venues have included The African American Museum in Philadelphia (5 months there for Ascension: the Journey of John Coltrane); Hebrew University in Jerusalem; the High Point Historical Museum in North Carolina (Grand Opening Exhibit); the Morgenthal-Frederics Gallery, the Tamarkin Leica Gallery, and The Harlem School of the Arts in New York City. My juried work has been selected by The Woodstock Museum in New York, the New Britain Museum of American Art, The Mattatuck Museum, and the Fairfield Museum in Connecticut. I have received a 2006 Grant from the Connecticut Commission on Culture and Tourism, several awards in juried shows, and have been spotlighted twice in Art New England. I am a member of the Kehler Liddell Gallery in New Haven, the Silvermine Guild in New Caanan, and the Connecticut Academy of Arts and Sciences.
