I have been a professional, internationally exhibiting artist for over 19 years.  I received an MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art in 2003 and spent the next decade living and working in NYC.  For nearly four years I worked behind the scenes as an Artist Assistant for world-renowned artist Jeff Koons and has taught painting and drawing courses at Brooklyn College and the City University of New York. In the Fall of 2021, I will begin teaching Drawing at the University of North Florida.
