    Statement of Work

    Twin Towers Tribute was commissioned by a native New Yorker transplanted to Phoenix for her career. This is the New York she remembers. It is the New York I remember when first traveling to this fabulous city. I am very happy to be offering it as a limited edition archival pigment print available in 3 sizes in editions of 500, signed and numbered. Part of the proceeds will go to select non-profits working with children affected by 9/11.

    Much of my artwork combines the three mediums of photography, painting and drawing into uniquely altered pieces that are at the same time kinetic and static. The process begins by applying oil and pencil to a black & white photograph. Many of the pieces are further enhanced by scratching away and adding information and texture with knives and sandpaper. My artwork is housed in the corporate collections of AT&T, Alcatel-Lucent and General Motors, as well as in many private collections. I have an MFA in photography and have had artwork published and exhibited in the Unites States, Japan and Germany.
