I have always loved art and knew that I wanted to be an artist from a very young age. I had the opportunity to see many great works of art, while growing up in New York City. I was fortunate to be able to go to Italy in my early twenties. While there, I earned a four year degree from La Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, Italia. My classical education in Italy has stayed with me and will always be my guiding force. I have since studied at the studio of R.S. Riddick, joined him at Scottsdale Artist School for workshops, and I have also studied with Jove Wang. I am forever grateful to my teacher and mentor Ron S. Riddick for his enduring patience, insight, and understanding about the importance of perseverance. I’ve been living in Tucson, AZ since 1989.
