I have been an artist my entire life!

 

I started taking private art lessons at the age of ten. 

At the age of twelve I was commissioned to do paintings and built up a client base.

 

          

 

 

When I was eleven years of age my Aunt entered me in an art show “Christmas in July” in the Hamptons. I was given an award for “New Artist” which was presented to me by Orson Bean, actor and designer of Paisleys.

 

                   

 

While in high school I was placed fifteenth out of two hundred students chosen to attend ST. Johns University’s Saturday College Credit Program.


                   

 

I worked in the garment district as a textile designer, colorist and fashion illustrator for over twenty years. I worked with some of the top designers at that time, such as Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis and Anne Klein.
