Bio (About Me)

Originally from Newark, N.J. I’ve studied art in the past at The Arts Students League of NYC, The Educational Alliance School of Art in NYC, and The Yard School Of Art at the Montclair Art Museum.

I have been an Artist-In-Residence participant in the Public Schools of the City of Newark, taught several art workshops at the New Jersey Teen Arts Festivals in Monmouth & Ocean Counties, worked in NJ Public Schools as a Substitute Guest Teacher assisting with art classes and other teaching responsibilities, and had the ultimate fun teaching pleasure working as an Art Instructor teaching Cartooning & Fine Arts Drawing to young children at Inspired Minds Fine Art School in Lincroft, NJ.

These experiences, as well as various other art community involvements within the tri-state area, have rewarded and blessed me tremendously.

I have achieved an Associate’s Degree in Fine Art (Studio Arts Concentration) from Brookdale Community College, New Jersey, and a few certificates in areas of Graphic Design/Digital Art & Storyboard Art to help me round out my artistic prowess.

I have had so many wonderful moments teaching art to children, teens, and adults in many different settings…all very rewarding experiences.

I’m very passionate talking about art as well as creating it…and I’m currently based in the Jersey Shore area.

This website to share my artwork is sincerely a labor of love.

Thanks for viewing!
