Sea Breeze Patio Series

“Sea Breeze Patio” series is based on the backyard of my childhood home, where we had a small patio lined with arborvitae bushes. I began the series in the fall of 2023, soon after my father passed, as an homage to my parents.  Although the images stem from a particular place I know well, they are transformed either through the filter of memory, or my desire to reinvent and cast a new light on this place. The familiar arborvitae bushes and slate ground serve as a template.

Works from 2023 – 2024 were partially funded by an Individual Visual Artist 2023 Support Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.  Thank you NYSCA!
