Piece description from the artist
This scene reminded me of Edward Hopper's paintings… I love the texture of the Bowery. The old businesses are reminiscent of a New York City that I don't see so much anymore. It feels like the New York of my youth.
Compositionally, I was attracted to the contrast between the blue sky and the orange construction stripes. The red truck passing by was a fortunate accident of fate.
Lower East Side, summer 2017
This is a TurningArt exclusive limited edition print available in editions of 100.
I paint New York City's wild edges – the parks, waterways, and forgotten green spaces where nature persists despite urban pressure.
Based in the Bronx, I'm currently exploring Van Cortlandt Park, one of NYC's largest and wildest parks. My work captures these landscapes in oil, focusing on the moments when light, water, and seasons transform familiar places into something unexpected.
I studied at Carnegie Mellon (BFA) and in England (MA in Arts and Ecology). My paintings are in private collections internationally.
