A bit about me

I’m a self taught artist who relishes in creating with discarded and found materials. Being drawn to the mysterious, dark and secretive, it’s no surprise that recurring themes in my work reference mythology, ancient history, alchemy, classical music and poetry.

My exhibition history spans almost 25 years and that’s in large part to the enormous support of my 300+ private collectors throughout the United States and abroad.
