I was born and raised in New York City and had frequent access to its museums and concert halls. I was an artist even as a child, and studied interior design at Pratt Institute and photography at Rochester Institute of Technology with Minor White.

Ten years as a New York still life photographer doing national advertising for clients such as Sony, Bulova and Sara Lee was followed by ten years of intensive international travel. I studied and learned to appreciate art at every level - from tribal crafts to the icons of today.

I returned to New York just in time for the computer revolution in the graphic design field working at American Express, Pfizer and for many freelance clients.

2005 has been the first year that I worked full time as a fine artist.
