"Colors of Happiness in a Lifetime" Painting

I grew up in Philly with cheesesteaks in one hand and crayons in the other. Art wasn’t just something I did—it was something I felt. Over time, I traded in crayons for brushes, but that childlike wonder stuck with me. After years in the seafood business (yes, you read that right), I returned to what truly fed my soul: creating art that makes people feel something. Now based in Phoenix, I spend my days surrounded by paint, music, and the Arizona sun—creating original commissions, colorful prints, and designs that bring warmth, laughter, and reflection to any space. ​ My art has been showcased in prestigious galleries like Tolleson, AZ, Civic Center "Faces Exhibition" Gallery, Phoenix Chamber of Commerce Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ, Civic Center Library Gallery, Tempe, AZ, ASU Gammage Art Gallery, Surprise, AZ, Art HQ Gallery, as well as public projects like Peoria, AZ, "2024 Utility Box Art Wrap." Featured on Channel 12 News Phoenix’s Art Pops, his work is prized in private collections alongside Agam, Shemi, Max, and Linderman, and he has designed a Stuart Weitzman Shoe collection. A committed philanthropist, I support Emily Yates Cancer Research, Donors are Heroes, and Whisk Away 2025, benefiting Mother’s Grace, a community-driven organization devoted to providing essential support for moms and children facing acute life challenges. ​ Through exhibitions, media, and charity, my art serves as a bridge for dialogue and inspiration, enriching the Phoenix art scene.
