I spent the first 8 years of my adult life in the Upper East Side… so, it would seem fitting that my first painting started and completed in Minnesota would be this Upper East Side Town House.

Introducing “Mindscape Guggenheim”, aka, “Guggenheim #7”. In 2009, I completed and swiftly sold a 30″X30″ painting of Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece. In 2010, I found myself longing to paint the Gugg once more, but two canvases of the same subject felt opportunistic — so I committed to painting a new 30″X30″ Guggenheim, each year, for the ensuing 19 years.
Santanas Exuma Painting by BorbayIntroducing my final Art Exuma painting — the world famous Santana’s Grill Pit, located on Little Exuma.

On Saturday morning, my Family embarked upon a journey… NYC to Miami to George Town. This isn’t necessarily a difficult itinerary, but we were with our 20-month-old, 6-week-old and enough luggage for two months. Such is the case, upon arrival in The Bahamas — we were thrilled. I’m now spending time in paradise as an Artist-In-Residence.
Introducing my latest painting — Bill Shelton, in full stride on the beach in Mustique. I had the good fortune of meeting Bill through friend and collector Gareth Evans.
