I was raised by two parents who grew up in the midst of war, strife, famine, and struggle.  I learned to watch and listen from a young age, and to find the spark of beauty in even the ugliest of circumstances.  I have made it my mission to capture this beauty, no matter how tiny it may be, and present it through my art. 

 

The first chapter of my artistic story revolved around sharing the untold, lost stories of my family and the forgotten millions who perished in the war.  The adage that history repeats itself was my biggest driver to uncover, then humanize the facts, figures, and stories of World War II.

 

The second, newest chapter of my artistic story now features my home.  New York City is a melting pot: old and new architectural designs share the same block.  Over fifty different languages are spoken at once on the steps of museums across the city.  Man, robin, and mouse all enjoy the city’s parks and its four seasons.  This chapter celebrates the beauty of New York City.

 

I earned my Bachelor’s degree, cum laude, in Fine Arts from Brooklyn College.  I was also awarded the Charles G. Shaw Art Department Award.  My pencil and ink drawings are featured in the Anteon Literary and Arts Journals.  In addition, my large, mixed-use sculpture of a wave is featured within the Kings Borough Community College Art Building.
