Being a Philadelphia native, art is a common subject. My love for creating art began as a child and I have been obsessively honoring my skills ever since. Capturing the character and emotion of my subjects has always been key. I am a professional self-taught artist specializing in graphite, colored pencil, and high contrast paintings.
I love working in all mediums, to express my interpretation of my subjects. You can see my artwork in private collectors’ homes internationally. To be able to take a blank canvas and transfer it to a captivating piece, is an amazing process. It's about rendering the character and essence of my subject, merely creating a likeness. Portraiture fills me with a sense of contentment and gives me a way to express my inner vision. As an artist it gives me great satisfaction knowing I can create something for someone to cherish for a lifetime.
