About Me


-The Narrows Botanic Gardens 2006 Fall Harvest Festival-
I have been making art since I was a kid. I have a passion for being creative. As a teenager, I displayed my art at Long Island libraries, entering art contests along the way. I attended Long Island University’s C.W. Post Campus, taking art classes and declaring a major in Art Education. I taught art to students from the pre-kindergarten level through the high school level. I received my B.A. degree, and continued to show my art at New York City shows and art festivals. I was a part of a show at Le Bar Bat in New York City, which drew thousands of art enthusiasts. I continue to work whenever I can as an illustrator. Some of my illustration work includes illustration design for a drag racing team, nutrition books, exercise books, and recipe books. My artwork has been featured several times on BCAT-television. My art is hanging on the walls of homes in England, Scotland, Canada, and throughout the United States including Hawaii. I continue to be creative and sell my artwork globally. I usually sell my paintings on eBay . I sometimes post "Works in Progress" on my livejournal . Got a livejournal? Add me if you’d like to follow my work in progress. Here are links to some of the bands I played drums/percussion in. My art influences include my life and everything in it. Inspiration is all around us.
