I grew up in Brooklyn and moved to Europe as soon as I could and stayed almost thirteen years. I also travelled extensively in India. These experiences greatly influenced my art and opened my sight to the beauty and mystery of the world.

I always wanted to live in the jungle (not sure which one) but i find myself firmly planted back in New York City. I can't complain about that.

I paint and sculpt and write as a safety valve for my sanity. Although I would like to understand the world and myself I do not. I keep on observing and recording what I think I see in my inner landscape. I also enjoy painting the changing scenes of New York City streets.

I've done several outdoor murals on the Coney Island Boardwalk for the Brooklyn Arts Council. I wrote and illustrated two children's books "The Tale of Jackie Berry" and "Ricardo and the Fisherman" published by Marble House Editions. At present I'm finishing a book using my paintings as inspiration for poems by Howard Change.

My next project will be pairing my paintings with the work of classical poetry "On the Nature of Things" by Lucretius.
