I create imaginary, mystical landscapes in veiled and muted tones. I seek to evoke a
sense of vastness and space, faraway vistas, other planets and alternate worlds with
distant formations half seen in the
mist --
what could they be?
I mainly work in pastel, combined at times with other media,
including oil pastel,
graphite,
china marker, watercolor...I’m always experimenting.
Perhaps it was all foreshadowed in my youth when my sixth grade teacher assigned me to
create an image of our solar system in color chalks across the classroom blackboard,
ephemeral cosmic images in pigmented dust, I continue that way today.
I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon. I
studied art at Sarah Lawrence College with sculptor Anthony Padovano, at the School of
Visual
Arts
with illustrator Peter Kuper, and classes with comic book artist Ken
Landgraf. Here is my spot illustration in New York's The Village Voice published
back in
1993: Village Voice
. I was also published in
World War 3 Illustrated
Magazine. In 1994 I was a finalist in The Artist's Magazine
All-Media Art
Competition in the category of pen and ink for this subway design Subway drawing
Years later, I
returned to creating Cosmic Visions. I am also a professional musician.
