Artist's Statement
Many artists have exhibited "Tribute to 911" pieces, each with their own unique approach.
I chose to depict the New Yorkers - their reactions on the streets. I collected news footage and documentaries so my paintings would be historically accurate. The main characters and locations are real, each at a different time of that day.
Hopefully, viewing this body of work will make us stop and remember with reverence and respect - the day that changed America.
