"An interesting plainness is the most difficult and precious thing to achieve" Mies Van Der Rohe
As a teenager I developed a love for photography and in the late 1960s had my first exhibits at the Floating Foundation of Photography and the Bronx Museum of the Arts in New York City. After a long hiatus, I rekindled my passion for the art and in more recent years have participated in more than twenty juried exhibits, galleries and museums in Westchester and New York City. Please see below.
In my work, no attempt is made to depict an object as it naturally appears. The goal is to create a new object that did not exist before. The photograph itself becomes the object without regard to the subject matter.
I am currently teaching personal vision classes at The State University of New York - Purchase and have studied at the International Center of Photography, Maine Media Workshops and Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. Awards include Best in Show at the 2011 Contemporary Art Fair Javits Center, three-time award winner at the Armonk Outdoor Art Show, Candice Perich Gallery, and Photowork '10.
