I am an artist, not just by profession, but by vocation. Creativity is the heartbeat of my life, and I believe that living an “art-full” life extends far beyond the canvas. Since you’ve landed on my website, you might be seeking a custom decorating solution, original artwork to adorn your space, or perhaps you’re a fellow mural artist in need of project management guidance. Whatever brought you here, you’re looking to “illustrate” your life by connecting with an artist who can bring your vision to reality. I’m here to help you express yourself and complete the environment you’re dreaming of.
My career as an artist began with a BFA in Visual Communication Design, with a concentration in Illustration from the University of Dayton, Ohio. I started as a freelance illustrator in Rochester, New York, where I also established a successful mural business, creating both exterior and interior works across Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.
Today, from my home studio in Naples, New York, overlooking Canandaigua Lake, I focus on oil painting. My contemporary realistic style captures the nostalgia of vintage and time-worn objects. I’m particularly drawn to items that reveal the beauty of age—rust, patina, and the character of wear—infusing my still lifes and portraits with a sense of history and mystery. My work often challenges me to depict reflective glass, intricate patterns, and vintage typography, aiming for realism while inviting intrigue through the textures and stories of the past.
In addition to my paintings, I’ve developed a series of illustrated alphabet cards—sturdy, full-color 5” x 7” cards perfect for spelling out names or words. They can be framed or strung as a garland, each featuring my original designs. These cards are available for purchase here on my site and through select retailers. If you’re interested in carrying them in your store, please fill out the wholesale application.
References for custom work are available upon request. Feel free to explore samples of my work on this website, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about my art or background. Be well and stay creative!
