December 2010 - I was awarded a commission from MTA Arts for Transit for the Metro-North Railroad Tarrytown Station on the Hudson line in Westchester County. The station is being rehabilitated as part of the MTA Metro-North Railroad Capital Program with funding provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. A percentage of the construction budget for the station is allocated for the design and fabrication of permanent artwork.

About the project:
The project, entitled – "Hudson River Explorers" is inspired by this great river’s majesty and eloquence, and informed by its rich history of discovery, exploration, and travel. “Hudson River Explorers” features 11 windows: 6 in the South Overpass corridor, and 5 in the North Overpass corridor at the MNR Tarrytown Station.

The scenes are fantastic, magically real, yet still naturalistic. From east to west, with color and subject, the windows create the experience of one day – from dawn to dusk. Creatures move through the landscape both above and below the water. The plants and animals depicted in the various windows are largely native species, many threatened or endangered, who guide an array of exotic visitors through the watery realm.

The Tarrytown project will be fabricated in laminated glass by Tom Patti Design. For the past year I’ve been diligently working on the artwork for this wonderful project. Each window area (roughly 5’ x 9’) will be divided into three panels. Installation is slated for the Spring of 2012.
