Even as a child, drawing was all I could think about and all I ever wanted to do. I spent hours and days drawing picture after picture, wherever and whenever I could. My influences at the time were cartoons, comic books, and fashion illustrations. I attended the High School of Art & Design to study fashion illustration and Advertising Art, and I also took classes in patternmaking and textile design. At the School of Visual Arts, I studied painting and sculpture, discovered that my true passion was fine art, and sought a way to blend all the experiences I’d acquired. Line and color have always been my strengths, and they are what many of my collectors and fans love me for. I am currently working on a series of black-and-white paintings and drawings that I hope will express color through patterning.
