I was born in upstate New York, started painting at the age of five and at the age of 17 had my first solo art show. I studied at the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and San Francisco’s Academy of Art, were I received a B.F.A in Illustration with distinction. I am a Nationally Award winning artist and a Signature Member of several societies.

Working as a freelance designer and illustrator for several years, I always gravitated towards abstract art. Abstract art gave me this incredible freedom to visually create something without any constraints.

I'm captivated with texture, line, color, design and shape that are the aesthetics of the urban environment. When I'm out exploring and find old decayed building facades, pipes, a freeway intersection or a decrepit fence, this inspires me.

I am always experimenting with new materials and textures, to extend their possibilities on different surfaces, to make things up and take creative risks. Intuitive painting teaches us that there is a holy wisdom in allowing ourselves to be led and guided by whatever shows up on the paper or canvas in front of us. To let go of the common conceptions we know and open fully to the unknown. To making what is unconscious conscious and to trust what resides in one self.
