Paintings: Many of these images explore peoples’ relation to society and themselves. How connected are these images to what is happening around them, or right on top of them? Open ended images allow the viewer to fill in the blanks with their own thoughts and experiences. The  paintings are sort of a visual exploration into existentialism - analyzing existence and the freedom, responsibility and isolation of the individual. Are they in environments that they created, or are forced to live in?

Lounge Life/Cocktails: Part of my life was spent as a bar owner. Liquid Lounge (bar and art gallery) in Hoboken, NJ and 12" DJ Bar in New York City. In addition to the cocktail still-lifes are images from bars and clubs in NY and Las Vegas.
