About me
Ever since the age of 8, fascinated with comic books, I tried my hand at replicating Marvel super heroes which then became the hobby that endured.
​
In my high school junior year, I submitted a drawing of former Mayor
Fiorello H. Laguardia for the NYC Port Authority city-wide competition &
won first place for LaGuardia: The Aviation Visionary, the school I attended.
​
In my early twenties, I took a hiatus -- for the most part -- from my art in order to support my family. Then a disheartening lifestyle change catapulted me back in front of my easel and sketch pads with charcoal in my hands.
​
Today, my art has certainly become my passion selling numerous pieces
to both the private and public sector. And, now I am looking forward to
building a purpose in the creative community. I recently became a
member of LIC-A (Long Island City Artists) a 501(c)3 non-profit arts
advocacy organization supported by grants and donations.
​
Thank you to all who have expressed appreciation for the work I do.
I am humbled knowing my art has been embraced and is on display
in your home or work space... Peace.
