Sacramento, UNITED STATES

I am a painter, printmaker, and photographer based in Northern California. A New Jersey native, much of my work was conceived in New York and then produced on the West Coast.

I choose to focus on architecture, street scenes, and the human form. I let light and the negative space around an object define the composition – gravitating to subtle colors, earthy tones, and black and white hues to shape my subjects.

I get a great amount of joy from sharing my artwork and seeing others find value in my work. Thanks for visiting my gallery.

Born in 1972 – New Jersey, USA. Mentors: Pavel Machotka, Ingeborg Gerdes, Lewis Watts, Norman Locks, and Zarina Hashmi.
