One Moment in Time

Ten Years in Chelsea



When I began this project in the early 2000's, I felt a similar sense of disappointment over the impenetrable nature
of the commercial gallery market.


Obstacles blocked my way.
I could not become part of the scene, or the success.

I eventually fell in love with the area, and its vibe,
even though it's no Soho!

I am often lucky enough to find rooftop access


The panorama is breathtaking
