I attended to Rhode Island School of Design
for my BA and the New York Academy of Art for my MA.
I am an illustrator, painter, and a printmaker. I worked
as a full-time artist in the editorial graphics department
for The New York Daily News and also for The Associated Press.
Now I do freelance graphic work for scientific publications, and some local pro bono graphic work.

I think working for newspapers and publications
has forced me to work fast and furious, and somewhat narratively.
I try to use this same “deadline” approach I when I draw or paint.
Color decisions are sometimes quick with expressive
brushwork. I think the trick is to balance the form and content with
the color and the mood. I try to get at least one thing “right” in the
painting, and sometimes, that is enough.
