Having been raised in the Bronx, New York City, had a lifelong impact upon my senses and emotions. These are not actual places but rather childhood memories and impressions bubbling to the surface. All of these works are created using palette knives only, the colors are chosen randomly which is a healthy challenge. The works are named in the order in which they were created.
