2) Are you self taught or did you formally study art?

I received my painting BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art and my Art Education Certificate from the Graduate Program at the Kean College of New Jersey. I also studied in numerous graphic and web design courses at the School of Visual Arts and  Parsons School of Design in New York.

4) What subject matter appears most in your artwork? What do you love about that subject? What do you dislike?

My aerial-view paintings represent various places and spaces of the contemporary landscape seen from an above ground perspective. The flattened surface planes convey the textures of abstract space enhanced by compositional aesthetics and skillful use of color. My images of cities and towns, factories and farmlands, power plants, suburban communities and highways are conceived with a distinctive angle on structures and a fresh visual vocabulary. The flattened plane reduces details to strong graphic images. I like the subject and its many aspects and possibilities.

5) What is difficult for you about your chosen medium?

Acrylics dry very quickly which is okay on the aerials since they are flatter in perspective. The figurative work has slightly more depth so quick drying needs retardants.

6) How do you consistently keep up with promoting your artworks?

I keep marketing my art through a newsletter and my Facebook fan page. They share the shows I’m in and any recognition I receive.

8) What musical artist or band are you currently listening to when you are creating?

Rock like Michael Bublé , Maroon 5, and James Blunt.

9) What do you think the future of your medium will look like?

My main goal as an artist has always been, and will remain to be, growth and exploring. I am currently working towards abstracting my style.
