I am primarily a self-taught individual in the art of sculpting, painting, and drawing. Born in Manhatten,
New York, and raised on Long Island, I had spent a good deal of my childhood in my room with either a
sketchbook in hand ornworking on a scratch-built model in front of me. I've always been interested in
drawing or making anything and paying close attentin to detail make my models more realistic.
My interest in making figures began when I was in the Navy, first by carving them out of wood. Some
years later, I was introduced to Super Sculpy and plasticine clay which opened up new possibilities in
rendering a figure. Mostly I've been working on cartoon characters and mythological creatures, but I also
can render a realistic animal or human. I also have an interest in two-dimensional art rendered either in
oil, acrylic, pen and ink, or pencil.
After taking college courses (receiving an Associate in Arts degree from Southwestern College, Chula
Vista) and studying reference books on anatomy, both human and animal, I developed my skills to
perfection and am now ready and confident to utilize my skills in an environment where they are best
suited.
My art has been shown several times at the San Diego Comic Convention (the world's largest), at the
Confurence art show, and at the Del Mar Fair-Art. Some of my art has been published in YARF!, and
some in convention program books. My clients include art collectors, actors, publishers, and other artists.
