Piece description from the artist
This piece captures the serene charm of Rutland Road in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn, a peaceful haven nestled just off the bustling Flatbush Avenue. Inspired by my time living in this vibrant neighborhood, the painting emphasizes the distinctive architectural beauty of the brownstones that line the street—a quiet retreat from the surrounding urban energy. Painted in oil on canvas, this 12-inch square piece has found its home in one of these very brownstones, resonating with a sense of belonging and tranquility.
Ideal for offices or spaces seeking to evoke the calm elegance of New York City's hidden gems, this artwork invites viewers to pause and appreciate the unique character of a beloved Brooklyn street.
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.
