I attempted a portrait of Ezra Koenig, the frontman of one of my favorite bands, Vampire weekend. He’s written some beautiful tunes about Capre Cod, which sparked this idea.

Seed Stories and the Power of Plants
I’m thrilled to have this piece included in a exhibition at the Staten Island Museum, April 13th-Frebruary 23, 2020. This drawing was originally commissioned by the Hudson Valley Seed Company, to illustrate a seed packet of Blue Jade Sweet Corn (a plant which originated in Mexico). The exhibit is called Field Notes: Seed Stories and the Power of Plants. You can learn more about this show here.

Martha's Vineyard
Vineyard and vine, encompassed by bluefish and brine.
A piscine emblem framed by the sea, ivy leagues wave at me.
Crosstown traffic hums below, deaf to summer’s calypso.

In 1970, my family vacationed in beautiful Martha's Vineyard. A few months ago,
my father gave me the original map we used to navigate the island. I used it as a
canvas to paint this ode to our fishing friends.
