My Mother's Photos

These are paintings inspired by my mother’s photographs. She would use her cameras like a visual journal. She would travel all over the world especially to Ukraine to teach. I’m using the vision she gave me to redevelop her vision of the world that she photographed by making paintings inspired by her pictures..

Found Photo Album Series

Paintings inspired by a discarded photo album I found sitting on a dumpster in an alley. They were pictures from the late 70s, early 80s of five couples that would vacation together, smoke together, drink and talk together, and get dressed up for banquets together. These are painted with acrylic on paper between 2024-2025.

Trick Cards

For years and years I have been finding abandoned lost playing cards on the streets and sidewalks. Some must have come from winning hands and maybe some were losers. I took them apart and glued them together in a different manner to make a new kinds of cards.

Rock People

Faces painted on rocks. Now they are alive. When It’s very quiet you can hear them whispering to you.

Objects

Rocks, wood, paste, plastic, paper, paint, give it to me and I will make something out of it.

Mannequins of Doris

Doris was a clothing store on Chicago Ave in the Ukrainian Village in the 70s. It was a uncanny and surreal space for me. When they closed in the late 80s I took pictures of the mannequins window displays. The pictures were my inspiration for this group of paintings.

Things In Museums

Objects in museums are fascinating to me. To paint one is to study an object very carefully and closely. It’s as if you are taking a picture of it for the museum inside your head.
