New York neighborhoods - from the streets of lower Manhattan, the Seaport and Financial district, into Tribeca and the West Village, from the Flatiron to Grand Central Station and up Fifth Avenue to St Patrick’s Cathedral - are transformed in winter, whether by snow or sparkling lights beckoning us in from the bitter cold.
The lights of the season sparkle more brilliantly at this time of year in the long hours of darkness. And within the constantly changing city, the timeless feel of an old-fashioned snowfall slows the pace to a crawl. Time stands still as within a child’s snowglobe. A captured moment. A series of small moments captured in time. New York everyday moments, ordinary perhaps, yet recorded and framed in silver and gold, for it is these small moments, heartbreaking in their ordinariness, that make up a lifetime in New York.

This is my celebration of Winter in New York.

My work was influenced by the realism of the Ashcan painters, as well as the sense of color and atmosphere explored by the Impressionists.

I have lived in Lower Manhattan for 20 years with her husband, Joe, a willing accomplice in a New York blizzard.
