About the Artist

I've been creating art since I was a small child living in New York. I attended a high school where my creativity was supported and could flourish. After living in Los Angeles for many years, I came back to the East Coast to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art (aka MICA) and pursue my dream of art. I followed that with a Master of Arts from the University of Baltimore. I worked for many years in the commercial side of art creating graphics and animation for the Intelligence Community. I am now enjoying my lifelong dream of creating fine art paintings full-time. I work in oil, acrylic, and found materials. I paint in my studio regularly but sometimes paint Plein Air. I have attended numerous workshops including those by Kyle Buckland, Mark Bodges, Walter Bartman and Samuel Morgan Price.
