Crashcount.nyc

CrashCount.nyc is my public data and storytelling project about traffic violence in New York City. It turns crash records into maps, reporting, and visual tools that make the scale of injury and loss harder to ignore.

Gowanus: (Un)Natural Habitats

Made on the new esplanades along the Gowanus Canal, these drawings reflect a neighborhood in transition. Construction rises on every side—steel, brick, and scaffolding—while young trees and plantings push into the frame. Each piece was drawn on site, with the noise of cranes and machinery close by. The series explores tension and resilience: nature insisting on its place within the built environment, persistence meeting reinvention.

See the work at the Nu hotel Lobby, 85 Smith Street, Brooklyn.

Basketball Drawings

Basketball is tension and grace, power and precision.

This collection captures the game at its rawest. Lines carve out the movement—sharp, deliberate. Colors echo the energy—bold, unrelenting. Each piece is a moment suspended in time: a struggle, a leap, a clash.

This is basketball stripped to its core. Not just a game, but a story of motion, conflict, and rhythm.

The Three Paper Project

These works invite you to experience the feeling of being present in unique spaces—whether it’s the peacefulness of a Brooklyn park, the energy of New Orleans streets, or the grandeur of Washington, D.C. landmarks. Each piece is created in the moment, using only three sheets of paper per session with brush and ink, leaving no room for erasing or reworking.

Bringing one of these drawings into your space offers more than just an image—it offers a sense of stillness, movement, and connection to the world around you. These works will continue to grow as I explore new locations, always searching for moments where architecture, nature, and life intersect.

My Beautiful People - The Salon

The My Beautiful People project began when we invited community members to come to an “Art Party” and encouraged them to dress for a formal portrait. Over 100 people attended; the guests received free photos of themselves and I obtained raw material for a portrait series to celebrate everyday people of Brooklyn.

Over the last 6 months, I have created countless preparatory drawings, done video interviews with select subjects and finished 3 large oil paintings. This collection represents some of my progress with this series, including the oil paintings, watercolor on paper paintings, and pen and ink drawings. I plan to create over 10 large-scale portraits in this 2 year project, to be fully realized in 2025.

The Portrait Project

Over two days in 2022, I set out a table and asked people to stop by so I could interview them for a portrait. Here are some of the resulting drawings.

Photos of My Beautiful People

As part of my process in developing an oil portrait, I schedule a session where I take high-quality photos. These become reference material for my paintings, and I typically provide digital copies as part of the engagement.

My Beautiful People in Pen and Ink

Drawing portraits in pen and ink is a challenge, but when it works, it's so satisfying. A few lines are used to communicate much.
