The crackling energy of New York City always attracted me. I lived there in the ‘70s and have made a pilgrimmage returning dozens of times when I needed a shot of adrenaline. In 2015 I showed at the New York Expo which is the largest art exhibition in the world. These works depict not only the busy, noisy, neon streets of the city, but also the contrast of the parks that offer peaceful respite- Central Park, the Cloisters, and the High Line.
