My art is in the Present moment.
It comes from my heart.
It is my truth.
It is what I love.
It makes me happy.
I have been creating art all of my life. I received my formal training from Pratt Institute where I earned my BFA degree. While at Pratt, I was fortunate to study under Alex Katz, Richard Linder, and Mercedes Matter. Throughout my career, I have put my art on everything.
After college I opened a shop in Greenwich Village called Designpoint where I sold abstract needlepoint canvases. Presently, my art is featured on upscale souvenirs sold nationally to airports and gift shops through my company Fifth Avenue Manufacturers. When I am developing graphics for my souvenir company I am looking out into the world at landmarks and specific icons for inspiration, and the work is representational. When I am painting for myself the imagery comes from within.
