| Introduction | I have been an artist, fisherman, and an admirer of music and food my entire life. I strive to do all that I do to the best of my ability, learn from those wiser than myself, & teach those who want to learn. Take only what you need, and leave only footsteps. I have studied at The High School of Art & Design, The Art Students League of NY, and The School of Visual Arts where I received my BFA in Illustration. I also received my Masters in Art Education from Hofstra University. I have had my artwork displayed in several group shows in both the United States and Ireland. It also has been included in the Oct.2000 issue of American Artist Magazine. |
