"Rue de la Lune" Photograph

Born 1967 Long Island, N.Y.

I have been creating art since the very beginning, it being my center and passion always. I studied fine art at School of Visual Arts in New York City where I was exposed to new and exciting ideas which helped form my future artwork. After college I got a job reproducing modern paintings as well as making original artworks for a gallery on Madison Avenue in New York City. While there I did paintings on a very large scale for CBS television sets as well as for display in high-end department stores. My paintings have been included in several gallery shows and art fairs over the years. I have built a large body of work, much of which hangs in private collections all over the world. One of my paintings was used as part of the set design of season six of the television show Mad Men. I recently completed seven paintings for the newly renovated bungalows at the Beverly hills Hotel. I live with my wife Mageda and daughter Lura in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in southeastern Ohio.
