THE LURE OF THE ASTOR PLACE CUBE is a tribute to the Alamo, an iconic sculpture that is impressive in its simplicity and awesome intrigue. I remember as a little girl, watching my father move the 1800 pounds sculpture and being very proud of my strong daddy. Why has a large, tilted cube been tempting passersby to move it for decades? It's fun. It's tradition. It's our special thing in the lower east side of Manhattan that has and will continue to make memories for generations.

GRANDMAS LOVE FOR SENTIMENTAL REASONS is a tribute to my late grandmother who loved music. The setting for her pictorial music concert is one of the most iconic east side views...the BROOKLYN Bridge above the East River.

LOWER MANHATTAN. If it's possible to have a literal exaggeration of something, then that is the goal of LOWER MANHATTAN, the painting. It's a build-up of color to capture the shape of lower Manhattan.
