My Life in Photos
In the studio with Ollie my favorite student & below is my wife many decades ago with my first cat, an orange tabby named Succi
Ollie
Above left is Ollie my current subject for several paintings and right, and just below is Ralphie with insane blue eyes, who tragically passed at the age of 6 and he was very special to me. See the lineup of kitties at my patio door that we cared for. Feeding time. Muffy the black cat lived to about 23 on my deck outside as was her preference. I did build them a heated winter condo every year. Of course, you all know who I was dressed up to look like for every Halloween.

A Bit About Me
Education & Honors
Art has been my heartbeat for as long as I can remember, starting with the simple joy of a childhood sketchbook. That early passion led me to formal training, in colllege where I spent years working in all mediums. After a long, and occasional rewarding career in publishing, I’ve finally come home to my easel and oil painting. Being back in the studio feels like a long-awaited conversation with an old friend, and I’m so excited to share this colorful new chapter with you.
- Scholarship to Cooper Union College
- Graduated with a Bachelor in Fine Arts
- Created Award winning publications and magazines
- Life long comic and horror fan
Growing up in the Far Rock Away Projects (Queens), there was a community center that had a wonderful art class. My mom proudly enrolled me and below are some of my very first paintings. I always loved painting cats . Enjoy!
I thougt it would be fun to share a few of my earliest works as a 9 to 11 year old kid
