About The Artist

Originally from New York City, New York.A connection with photography began in high school with the very first photography class assignment; to construct a Box Camera and then afterwards take a photograph with it. To be an artist was always my dream from the age of seven, but to be a cartoonist. Other paths lead me instead to becoming a graphic designer. I worked in the Advertising field for over 25 years from Designer, Art Director, Creative Director and then my own Design Studio. Through the process of photographing various single images, my goal is to capture and recreate these images by fusing them together graphically and to present them in a new light. The inspiration and challenge always is to constantly observe and photograph objects, people and places, to reconstruct them and to create a unique piece of art for others to enjoy. ​ Exhibits 2021: Spectrum Miami Art Show- 12-1-12.5. 2021 Forest & Ocean Gallery, Laguna Beach ​ Exhibits 2019: Five3Gallery- Laguna Beach, CA The Celebration of Artists 2019 Exhibit - Peoria City Hall Art Gallery- 3.1.2019-3.30.2019 NYA Gallery- New York- 6.1..2019- 6.30.2019 ​ Exhibits 2018: Spectrum Miami Art Show- 12.5-12.9.2018 Gallery 104- New York, NY ​ Forest & Ocean Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA ArtExpo New York - Pier 94 - Booth 315 - April 19-22 West Valley Art Museum - "Celebration of Artists 2018" - March 1- April 15 ​ Exhibits 2017: Forest & Ocean Gallery, Laguna Beach, CA West Valley Art Museum -"Celebration of Artists 2017" - March 13- April 21 West Valley Art's Council - "6th Annual Floral & Botanical" - March 9 - April 21 City of Surprise City Hall Gallery for the Fall 2017- accepted pieces- Red Shoes and Stripe Stockings, Circles Of Life and Barking Up The Wrong Tree.
