Biography:
Born Staten Island NY, Jackson, NJ for school years, NYC 1988-2012, Barnegat, NJ 2013-2017, Reading, PA 2018 -
I have always made Art. It’s always been the only thing I had a passion for. I was told by many that there was no living to be made from being an artist, so I tried to do other things. I studied psychology, film, eventually finding art therapy, and even had a brief career as child life assistant. Finally, I settled with the family business, managing real estate. Then I moved to Pennsylvania, life has been a journey of self discovery ever since. I’ve continued to create and explore many mediums, but lacked confidence to show my work. I had no voice, but now I do. I see things differently always have, it’s time to embrace this. I have been inspired by many different artists, including Goya, Modigliani, Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger, David Lynch, Dario Argento, and Mark Ryden. Additionally, I’m surrounded by other artists in my personal life who have given me the confidence that my work is worthy as well. It is time to share my view.
