I am a mixed media artist from New Jersey. I have been doing one form of art or another since I could remember. From jewelry to paper mache to acrylic painting to mixed media to a lot of other types in between. With each piece I create I learn something new which I use going forward. I learn what materials I like to work with and how to use them in different wats. Each creation is like an experiment for me. If what I am trying to achieve works out, then great, if it doesn’t then I try, try again until the result is something I like. I am basically self-taught with a few classes, workshops and books here and there.

My work is mixed media with a folk-art style. I love adding humor to my creations. I feel art should make you happy. If people walk by and chuckle or even smile, then I?ve done my job. Using found objects and everyday items to create one of a kind piece is one of my objectives. I also feel good when I recycle/upcycle. For example, I use plastic bottles in some of my sculptural pieces. I am helping the environment and I am creating a unique piece at the same time.
