As a New York native, I’ve been surrounded by art and culture my entire life. Growing up in Brooklyn, I wasn’t into sports but I did spend a lot of time at the Brooklyn Museum where I took art classes from elementary school through High School. This early exposure sparked a passion for art that has guided my creative journey ever since.

Over the years I’ve studied at the Art Students League, the New York Academy of Art and attended many life drawing sessions at Spring Studio. I also worked for decades in graphic design where I was fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented and accomplished industry leaders. This experience greatly influenced my own artistic style and approach. In my art, I strive to combine simple graphic elements, realistic images and symbols, traditional techniques as well as technology and computer graphics to create original and imaginative images that capture universal emotions and promote positivity and connection.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My art is straightforward and easy to understand. There’s nothing esoteric, obscure or ambiguous about it. I simply try to create interesting, enjoyable, compelling images that bring inspiration and hope.
