Work
Innerst is known for his modernist paintings of New York City and his small landscape paintings that harken back to American 19th-century Luminism.[1]
The curator Katherine Gass has linked Innerst's work to the landscapes of American painters James McNeil Whistler and Winslow Homer.[2]
Earlier works by Innerst include the Monochromatic Gray Drawings from the early 1980s, the Ultramarine Blue Paintings from 1984 to 1985, and the Amusement Park Paintings from the late 2000s.

Paintings are ultimately glazed and joined with a frame custom-made by Innerst. He also creates many preliminary photographs, drawings, and painted studies.
