The drawings and paintings in this show were inspired by the urgency of the passing of time and the preciousness of life. The work consists of imagery inspired by the natural world as expressed in abstract marks, values, shapes and colors. They are meant to convey the artist’s thoughts and feelings about his life and the world we live in.
For each painting sold in this show, the artist will make a donation of $200 to The Center for Thoracic Cancer at Similow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven Health.
