On Quality, HarperCollins, 2022 - photos

It was an honor and pleasure working with Wendy Pirsig and HarperCollins photographing Robert Pirsig's tools for On Quality published April 2022, by Wendy Pirsig and Robert Pirsig. I took hundreds of photos and around 30 are printed in the book, and one was selected the book's cover.

Small paintings

While resettling in the US for the last few years, I had a lot less time to spend in my studio. I recently finished a group of small paintings--as I get ready for larger artworks. If you would like to view a gallery, please click (here).

MARCOROSSI artecontemporanea Exhibition Milan - Verona Italy 2019

Thanks to Marco Rossi for providing me with a studio in Milan in 2019.  It was a pleasure working in Milan.  The studio had many skylights which made it a beautiful place to work in. When I needed a break I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, often stopping for an espresso and brioche. There is something liberating in being a foreigner and not knowing anybody--and having no other responsibilities than to make artworks.  The artworks made during this period were exhibited in the Verona gallery
