I was very lucky to have grown up in New York City with its wonderful art museums. I had a student pass to the Museum of Modern Art and I would go there often being thrilled by Picasso’s Guernica, Monet’s Water Lilies and works by Mark Rothko on my way to the photography section.  These works and more showed me the ability of visual art to pull us in, quiet us and transform us as well as transform a room.  I would never dare to put myself even in the same paragraph as these masters, but the power of art to move us has always been a motivator for me.  I’ll photograph everything from landscapes to clouds and small details, but my intent is to produce something that will quiet you and pull you in, move you and make you feel better.
