My exposure to art began as a teenager growing up in an industrial area of NJ near NYC.  I began making trips to art museums in NYC when I was 15 and quickly developed a fascination with European painting.  As a youth I found myself drawn especially to the 15th through 17th century, with modern influences coming later.  This instilled in me a love of craft and a sense of where painting comes from.  Painting gives me a means of expressing the way I perceive the world around me. I do this by distilling what I know about painting from the way artists before me used it and creating my own way of using it today.”
