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.
