I was born in Brooklyn. I spent the first three decades in NY. And the 7 years not spent in NY were spent in California. Events have brought me back home to NYC to live once again. I love to paint, and have been painting since I was a young child. In my teenage years I did graffiti and street art. When people ask me to describe my work I tell them it is abstract portraits mostly. I will often start a painting by taking markers and writing and drawing graffiti all over the canvas. Because to me starting a blank canvas is one of the hardest parts of painting. Many of my pieces when held up to the light, you can see hidden words and images below the paint mediums. I have more work both old and new that will be posted here in the future. Since being back in NY i am going back to my street art roots and merging it with my fine art schooling. Can't wait to show it.
