“The Longneck Circus series comes from The Bronx neighborhood where I grew up. There was always drama in the streets, characters hanging out on the corner, and older neighbors looking out of windows onto the scene below. This concept has been brewing since my youth and aspects, paintings and drawings have emerged in my work throughout my lifetime of painting. Now it comes out as a stream of consciousness, I don’t think much, it just flows out. I love the shapes and forms, the coming and going of line and color, the joy of moving paint around.”
