Born and raised in suburbia, New Jersey, I spent many a night in diners sketching the face across the table from me. Portraiture has always been my focus. After four years of New York City Art School I find myself back in suburbia, NJ still exploring faces, now on a professional level.

Studying Illustration gave me the range to cross boundaries of Fine Art and Commercial Art, leaving me a self-proclaimed Realist Expressionist. In my opinion, a successful piece looks like the subject and also feels like them.

I currently own Inspired Minds Fine Art School in Monmouth County, New Jersey. This is a new love of mine, a true calling I’ve found. I teach all levels a strong traditional approach and technique to nurture further self-expression.
