Visual Art – New York - NYC

As an artist I try to put the viewer into a world of whimsy and fantasy. I focus on merging elements of nature and man-made objects that, in life, have no relation to one another. My work reflects my humor and affinity for the darker elements of nature. I push limits by merging creatures deemed unattractive with those labeled as beautiful. I am an artist from Long Island and started pursuing art in my junior year of high school. Though initially I had no interest in art at all, I quickly fell in love with drawing after taking a required art class. I attended Parsons School of Design immediately after graduating high school but, after a year, I transferred over to the School of Visual Arts where I fully developed my painting, drawing and silkscreening skills.
