Mostly self taught - I was just always drawing and creating things,

coloring or writing something in bubble letters.  My grandfather seriously suggested

one day that I major in bubble letters in college...

 

When I purchased a Paint Your Own Pottery studio in 1999, it afforded me many interesting opportunities. I painted countless custom orders seen throughout this site and many more that were never photographed; I was commissioned by Heineken USA to paint the

Amstel Light logo on over 100 platters (!!!) for their top sales people and to paint the same image live, onto a canvas, at their yearly sales convention (I can see that logo in my sleep); I designed an American Flag safety pin bracelet which was featured in USA Today and local media outlets - the proceeds of online and in-store sales helped raise money for the Twin Towers fund.   

 

I have had some very interesting freelance jobs throughout the years including painting figurine prototypes for the Danbury Mint and working as a Visual Merchandiser for Hasbro at Licensing Shows and Toy Fairs around the country.    

 

I will continue to update this site as I create new work.

  Feel free to contact me with any questions or project inquiries. 

Thank you for taking the time to view my portfolio.
