March 24, 2010: Recently I worked on digital and print signage for the New York Design Center’s “Connected” table-top installation at the 2010 DINING BY DESIGN event. DIFFA’s DINING BY DESIGN brings together some of the most talented and celebrated individuals in the worlds of fashion, interior design, art, and architecture to create spectacular, over-the-top dining environments. This event is an annual fundraiser for the fight against AIDS. It was a pleasure to take part. Here are some photos of the signage and NYDC presentation along with other fabulous creations.
January 4, 2010: A series of photos taken of my latest work - in progression (oil on canvas). The final is to come. Its not far off from the last photo. I’m definitely using more subdued colors in this piece and I can’t tell you why, it just happened that way. Maybe I need some new paint! Enjoy!

October 19, 2009: As promised, you can view Lisa O’Callaghan art work here. My Favorite pieces are the Bat collage and the Jelly Fish ink drawing. I love the sense of bright color, energy and composition in “Bat”. The line quality in “Jelly Fish” is fascinating. Enjoy!

May 3, 2009: Recently my artwork was reviewed by Lisa O’Callaghan - A High School student from The Sewanhaka Central School District. I’m extremely honored that she has chosen to review my art series. While her classmates were choosing to report on Picasso and Mondrian, (which for obvious reasons are great choices) Lisa had a different idea in mind. Lisa was thinking “outside the box” and selected me, an emerging NYC artist. This beyond question, shows her creative intuitions. Making connections with up and coming artists will ultimately help advance her own artistic aspirations and ventures. This in my opinion was a smart, strategic decision. I would like to thank Lisa again for her wonderful art review and biographical report. Please check back in a few weeks to see Lisa O’Callaghan’s own artwork posted here.

March 4, 2009: I started attending open drawing classes. I love it. I’m hoping this will be inspiration for a new series I’m thinking about showing in late summer. The overarching idea is based on “body types/sizes” and of course, color. more to come…
