I have been a lifelong artist-- in mind, body and spirit. I have been passionate about art since I was a kid-- drawing people from life, taking student projects extremely serious to going to art school on and off. I attended LaGuardia High School where I majored in art, finally got a chance to experience dedicated art classes. After switching back to an all academic high school and graduating, I knew I had to choose to dedicate myself to learning more about art.
I graduated form the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, majoring in Illustration where I had amazing influences by the likes of Bil Donovan, Joe Denaro, Karen Santry, Carlos Aponte and John Jay Cobaoy- these professors and working illustrators have helped me grow into the relm of stylization-- influencing my work into conveying fashion illustration.
I'm usually drawing on the train, volunteering to work a local event as an artist for hire to do live portraits, taking on portrait commissions and drawing characters I create inside of my own head.
