As a lifelong artist, my creative journey began at the tender age of 11 under the guidance of renowned artist and pulp fiction illustrator, Rafael DeSoto. This early mentorship sparked a passion for art, leading me to pursue formal education at the prestigious School of Visual Arts in New York and later earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from SUNY Plattsburgh.

Following my academic pursuits, I dedicated 28 years to arts administration, serving two of the largest opera companies in the United States. Now, in retirement, I continue to nurture my artistic spirit, exploring new creative avenues and inspiring others through my work.
