I am a trained actor from New York in classical theatre, weaned on the Greeks and Shakespeare. I am also an classic art model of many years. Performance art allowed me to create my own work, combining theatre and the aesthetic eye to stage pieces that honor the Platonic circles: Truth, Beauty, and Justice.
Those circles have been celebrated by the most philosophers and poets throughout the last five centuries whom are no longer read. I strive to keep the voices that inspired me alive.
