BIOGRAPHY
My interest in art began at age eleven I attended the Newark school for fine industrial art in Newark, New Jersey. My experience began soon after graduation from art school. I worked at various jobs, but continued to pursue my desire to work professionally.
As an artist by marketing my talent, my artwork became apparent to many of my co-workers and in- house employees. Subseguently, I was in demand for various types of freelance work included but not limited to family, children and wedding paints etc. for several years. My professional career began when I was hired by third power marketing and development inc. to produce black and white story boards which were used in advertising development. With PSE&G in New Jersey, my story boards was published in the New Jersey local newspapers. I've done a trademark rendering of to females shaking hands for the girl scouts brochures. In 1993 I moved to San Diego, California, and was commissioned to do a lobby painting for the San Diego local television news station. I've done several paintings for Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical research institute, in La Jolla, Ca. Also commissioned to do tee shirt design of green hornet television show that was sold in the east coast and west coast. The work was approved by the actor who played the green hornet, Van Williams. Today a still consider Van Williams a friend.In conclusion art has become my passion, no other single subject offers as much opportunity to be creative with the gift that god blessed me what. I am now back in New Jersey and still continuing with my art and my goals.
