Baltimore Native, I fell in love with art at a young age of 5. I attended the Baltimore School for the Arts class of 1987. Fresh out of high school I started working for Penn Advertising painting billboard where I was able to develope my skills even more. After 14 years I decided to try another form of art in the form of culinary arts.
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.
