I LOVE NEW YORK - INSPIRATIONS

I absolutely love visiting New York City, and I try to get there as often as I can. Creatively, I find it to be the most inspiring city. I love the architecture, and juxtaposition of the sleek modern elements with the worn, gritty surfaces. I try to capture that feeling in my paintings and ceramics. I am looking forward to returning this Christmas.
Below are a few images that caught my eye, and have inspired my work. You can see my preference for a subdued, neutral palette in these photos.
