Many of my current paintings and drawings explore the urban Binghamton environment in a variety of ways. I often incorporate silk-screened images into the painted surface. I am also inspired by nature, current social issues, the work of other artists and by working regularly with a model. Besides working 2 dimensionally I also sculpt in clay and other materials.
