I was Born in Queens, NYC in 1970, my family relocated to Tucson, Arizona in 1975 and then the San Francisco Bay Area in 1982. I attended the San Francisco Art Institute graduating with honors in 1997 . From 1998 to 2003, I resided in Davis, California, and developed my artwork and professional career. I returned to SFAI in 2000 for post-bać studies as part of the fabled SFAI 731 Market Street studios and community.
I relocated to Chicago in 2004 and immersed myself in the arts fabric of the city as a participant, exhibitor and professionally at the Smart Museum of Art, School of Art Institute and the YMCA of Metro Chicago. I reside in the Rogers Park with my partner and our blended family, and two pesky cats.

My artwork continues to be actively shown in solo and group exhibitions across the United States. 2026 projects (now leading into 2027) have included exhibiting nationally, creating a new body of work, streamlining my artist archive, and expanding creative network for new opportunities.

starting in 2022, I have been co-curating exhibitions, both online and in person, with my partners Redbird and Mallard Projects, Free Range Artist Gallery and the San Francisco Art Alumni Association . Co-curating, and installing SFAA pop up exhibitions at the Tryst International Artist Fair in 2024,25 and as peer support in 2026.
