Drawing was my first love and then I discovered many doors that led to endless creations of the imagination. It's the process that I am drawn to. Whether its starting with a blank canvas, a ball of clay or a sheet of wax, each medium I work in has its own unique process. And it's those differences that make it difficult for me to choose just one to work with. I have been painting abstracts since the early 90's. It wasn't until I went back to school that I started to explore other avenues. In 1999, I studied at NYU in Florence, Italy. It was there that sculpture and photography became my main interests and a greater admiration for art history was born.
