While I enjoy photographing people, places, and objects of personal significance, I am particularly drawn to non-objective art and the pursuit of pure composition. This exploration offers a sense of comfort and an opportunity for formal discovery that transcends representational boundaries.
After many years in the Atlanta advertising industry, I transitioned into art education—a field in which I have been teaching and advising students of various age groups for over three decades. I find deep fulfillment in nurturing creative expression and currently serve as an art instructor at a private school in Atlanta. Engaging in dialogue about visual composition and the conceptual underpinnings of art has significantly contributed to my ability to articulate both my artistic vision and teaching philosophy. Amid a demanding teaching schedule, I continue to pursue personal and professional projects across a variety of media.
Growing up on the Jersey Shore during the 1970s and early 1980s, I developed a blend of creative curiosity and problem-solving skills that continue to inform my approach to artmaking. For me, the act of creation is a way of engaging with the world—an emotional process through which I shape visual messages that remain open to interpretation.
My artwork aspires to a level of craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. I work across a range of media and subject matter to explore and express my experiences within the visual world. Rather than adhering to a single genre, I employ diverse approaches that allow me to evoke visual ambiguity and subtle nuance. I find it rewarding when viewers discover multiple interpretations within my work, as this aligns with my ongoing desire to keep my artistic practice dynamic and evolving.
