I found some old sketches I did while in Art School in the early 2000's. I was working towards a large painting entitled, "Horror", which was based around the horrible tsunami tragedy in Sri Lanka. I copied some of the amazing drawings of Raphael, to possibly use for the final piece. I didn't end up using them, but I carried the out the effect of using other drawings collaged together. These sketches are done using pencil and watercolor on paper. I like the emotion that came about as a result.
The mediums I have worked with are watercolor, graphite, ink and oil. Currently most of my finished paintings are watercolors.
I have studied Fine Art at Syracuse University, Rutgers University (BA), Montclair University, but I learned so much from studying with Harvey Dinnerstein, Sharon Sprung, Costa Vavagiakis and Michael Burban at the Art Students League in NYC.
