Born in Philadelphia, and having traversed the globe, I’ve been fortunate to immerse myself in diverse cultures, shaping a unique perspective that permeates my character, and is reflected in the varied tapestry of my artistic expression. The journey began in 2000 in San Antonio, Texas, with my inaugural solo exhibition. Since then, my work has steadily evolved and gained visibility, leading to numerous solo and group showcases across the United States. Over the years, this includes notable exhibitions in places such as New Jersey and New York City.
From an early age, I embraced my inner muse, allowing creative visions to flow organically. Living and traveling worldwide afforded me the chance to connect with people of myriad cultures and races, a diversity that intricately weaves its way into the fabric of my art. Returning to the East Coast after a period, my artistic style defies regional confines, transcending boundaries with its universal appeal.
