About Me

I am originally from North Carolina, where I had a career as an advertising illustrator. My life changed when I made the decision to return to art school, & secure a classic academic education. Eventually, I arrived in NYC, where I stay amazed by all the elements of the city that surround me. Manhattan remains my muse, & a constant source of inspiration. I split my time between NC, CT & NY.

Fabulous lighting and dramatic compositions in your urban landscapes. Your work seems so clean and filled with space; the spaces really have a presence to them.

Stunning work. I am particularly fond of the beautiful young lady with long blonde hair. Very well done.

Hello J.H., Stunning work! Arresting attention to detail and I think your paintings are romantic,especially the one called "Magen". Also love the one called "Greene and Grand", the morning (or is it late afternoon?) light lends a soothing quality to the city scene.

My favorite portrait of yours is called Magen. I love the old fashioned romantic quality and the lighting is fantastic. I would love you to do a portrait of my daughter with a similar pose & feel. Every gallery in NYC should have your NYC series hung in their space!

Love the light perspective in your work! You achieve an overall natural look in the subject matter. Very cool!

very fine work, love the strong value contrasts in pieces like Soho Sat. Morning. A NC boy in the big apple? I would be toast.

Really like those equestrian paintings.

Your streetscapes are shimmeringly captivating..portraits are compelling too

Your talent is amazing. Since I love to paint and have horse I have a true appreciation for your art.

Fabulous work in all respects, JH. The equine pieces are sensational.

You''re a long ways from home! I''ve been in NC for 20 years and love it here. But seeing your cityscapes, I see why you''ve settled there. They''re wonderful.

Thank you very much. A nice day for you and NY city Laura
