Support Public Art with a Tax Deductible Donation
I’m raising funds to support my 2026 public art projects, and I’d be grateful for your support. All contributions (tax deductible) go directly to production costs for installations through my fiscal sponsor, The Field.
I believe public art is critically important. When installations live in our parks and shared spaces, they create moments of connection that remind us we’re part of a larger community. Today, when so much in the world pushes us apart, those shared experiences matter.
Projects like Happy to See You in Washington Market Park and Hyper Human in the Kaufman Arcade demonstrated how much people welcome these moments. I’m continuing that work in 2026 with new installations across the city.
Please help me by supporting this work.
Thank you for helping bring more public art into our shared spaces.*
Pondering the Little Things
“Hyper Human,” public art installation runs from July 14 - Dec. 31 (extended!) at the Kaufman Arcade, 132 West 36 St. in NYC. The series was inspired by quantum physics and related concepts that describe the structure of our world at the microscopic level. Created with support from the Garment District Alliance Art program and the Kaufman Organization.
Watch a interview with Dr. Sophie Beck discussing how the concepts of quantum physics inspired Hyper Human and how they relate to our every day lives.
Art Brings A Smile
Featured in Time Out New York as one of the best public art of the Summer!
“Happy to See You!,” exhibits 4’ x 5’ artworks at Washington Market Park, May 4 – August 30 (extended!) as part of NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program and support from the Friends of Washington Market Park. The playful, vivid, abstract art explores joy and human connectivity.
Art Born of the Street - Literally
Born Again Road Kill is a series of figurative sculptures crafted from ‘accidental metals’ discovered on the streets of New York City. Perhaps you’ve driven over a piece or even owned one that has now been transformed into art? The mundane mechanical debris is morphed into evocative sculptures. This piece has been selected to be exhibited in the prestigious NYCxDESIGNxSOUVENIR exhibition, May 2025 in Manhattan.

![Great artists are about more than beautiful pictures for walls. Their real value lies in their journey of deep self-discovery, which produces a tangible form through which they communicate their learnings. They trace the threads of who they are: how they played as children, what fascinates them now, and the moments that shape their understanding of existence. Then they turn that understanding into a representation that others can experience.
Through art, they communicate what it means to be human. Viewers might see something that reflects their own story, sparking recognition or curiosity. That exchange, the human insight shared, is the real work of art.

![Let’s remember that creativity and fascism are opposites particularly in how they relate to freedom.
Creativity depends on openness, experimentation, and the right to question.
Fascism depends on control, uniformity, and the suppression of dissent.
A creative act in any discipline, requires the freedom to imagine alternatives. A fascist system eliminates alternatives by design.
When individuals are free to create, they generate diversity of thought and fuel a better path for humanity. When power suppresses creativity, culture stagnates and our humanity dissolves.
Creativity is not just expression. It is resistance to conformity and cultural dilution.
