Graffiti and Rain, 2021

Oil and collage on canvas

24 x 36"

Value: $500

*This piece is included in the Opening Night Collection.

Artist Bio:

I received my B.F.A. from Parsons School of Design, and my M.A. from Syracuse University. I retired in 2016 after twenty-eight years as an art teacher in the New York City public schools. I currently have paintings on display at Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition and on Artsy.com. I have also exhibited at Collier West and FiveMyles, and my work has been used on the sets of two television productions: First Wives Club and High Fidelity.

I work in oils, watercolors and collage. I don't aim for absolute precision in my work. Even though I can capture a time, place or figure in a painting, the brushstrokes and splatters are as important as the rendering.
