I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and studied at The Art Students League and The New School. While at the University of New Mexico, I studied printmaking with Garo Antreasian and John Sommers. After graduating with a B.F.A. in printmaking and art history I moved to Seattle to work as Technical Assistant to Master Print-maker Kent Lovelace of Stone Press Editions (a fine art original print workshop). I have taught art classes at art centers; schools and after school programs. My paintings and prints have been exhibited throughout the United States and in Europe and are in many private and public collections.I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
