        Biography and Artist Statement “In my\nstudio practice I am c
 onsidered a Social Realist painter\, although\nDeborah Solomon of The New 
 York Times once referred to my style as POP\nRealism. Utilizing a very str
 ong narrative in each series that I\ncreate\, my current body of work cons
 ists of acrylics on canvas\,\ndepicting my childhood memories of Coney Isl
 and\, where I grew up\, as\nwell as my travels abroad and throughout the U
 S. The works utilize\ncontemporary realism with an homage to Dutch and Fle
 mish baroque\npaintings. When not in the studio\, I can be found at York P
 rep School\non the upper west side of Manhattan\, where for the past seven
  years I\nhave been employed as their 6th through 12th grade art teacher
 . I am\ncurrently completing my 27ear of full time art teaching\, having w
 orked\nin some of Manhattan’s finest independent schools. I received my 
 BFA\nfrom the  New York School of Visual Arts in 1983.” Venue: Rehoboth
