How it all began...

Although very active otherwise, a blank sheet of paper and a pencil was all i needed to occupy myself as a child. Never knew my father, but my mother has been very supportive.

In the works...

Upcoming Exhibition: HVG Annual Juried Art Show,
Nov 5-13 2011. Reception Sat Nov 5, 6pm-9pm.
116 Pinehurst Ave NYC @183rd St.
Two of my paintings were accepted.

Also, my paintings currently hang in two galleries on
Martha's Vineyard: PIKNIK Gallery in Oak Bluffs and Treehouse Studios in West Tisbury.

Down the road...

The GW Bridge

if you could collaborate with/meet any artist, past or present, who would it be?

Collaboration: Rock Steady Crew, The Nicholas Brothers. Painting is more of a solo journey. Sometimes i wonder where i'd be if i'd pursued dance more seriously- percussion too for that matter, both for which i still have a passion.
Meet with and converse: Kahlil Gibran, Herman Hesse and Nietzsche.
