Brooklyn Brownstones

Piece description from the artist

A resident on this block showed me how some of the stones used to build the buildings have fossils visible in them. I thought about that deep time materiality while painting this in a loose and ephemeral style.

About Noel Hefele

Bronx, NY

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.
