Artist Bio

I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon. My work titled "Points Unknown" was awarded the 2021 Mercer County Artist Exhibition Purchase Award by the Mercer County Cultural & Heritage Commission.

My ethereal expressions have been seen in exhibitions throughout New Jersey and parts of Pennsylvania including The Gallery at Mercer County Community College, The New Hope Art Center, Alfa Art Gallery, D&R Greenway Land Trust, Artists of Yardley, The Arts Council of Princeton and a one-man show at Small World Coffee, Princeton, NJ. Coming in September 2023, a group of my works will once again be on display at Alfa Art Gallery, New Brunswick, NJ. I've also exhibited on the online portal, exhibizone.com, and currently have a work on view in relation to their current theme of "Time" and a solo exhibit later down the line.

Other venues showing my work include Ceres Gallery in New York City, River Oaks Art Center/Bolton Davis Gallery, Alexandria, LA, bG Gallery, Santa Monica, California • Cape Fear Gallery, Fayetteville, NC, and the Crooked Tree Art Center, MI.

Decades ago, I had a spot illustration in The Village Voice (1993) and various cartoons and comics published in the magazine World War III Illustrated (1992-93). I was a finalist in The Artist's Magazine All-Media Art Competition in the category of pen and ink in 1994 for my drawing, "The Subway".
