It was the teachers Irwin Greenberg and Max Ginsburg who taught me to see and paint the diversity of people and neighboords of the city.

Based on my portfolio I was awarded a full scholarship to the School of Visual Arts. I took design classes and majored in illustration but also continued my fine art studies with another inspirational teacher Steve Assael.

Upon graduation I began a career as a freelance illustrator/graphic designer. Some of my past clients include WNET/Channel 13, Harlequin books, Maxell Corporation, and the New York Mets.
