Occupation Painter and teacher
Introduction I'm a realist artist from New Jersey currently pursuing my MFA at the Academy of Art University. My emphasis is on the figure and portraiture but I'm developing a sort of narrative on my own time as I delve deeper into philosophy and psychology, specifically fairy tale psychology. While beauty is certainly subjective, I am striving to make pictures that are enjoyable by all and as I develop my ideas more, hopefully leave people with a smile on their face; there's enough socio-political and gritty realism in the world.
Interests art, drawing, painting, reading, playing guitar, occasionally playing basketball, researching, observing
