It all began at the age of two, when I found the shoe polish in the hall closet and created my first masterpiece. Shortly after that, I received much recognition from my eighth-grade art teacher that inspired me to continue creating, eventually receiving a fine arts degree from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT.

I apprenticed with renowned decorative painter Jim Wells and went on to studying computer graphics in San Francisco in the early ‘90’s. To work out as an artist, I enjoyed playfully copying Matisse paintings and creating abstract landscapes with acrylic on canvas. To elevate the whimsical side of my art, I made tiny fantastical creatures from found natural objects.

I am always exploring...
