Artist Bio

I grew up on the westside of Cleveland near W.25th and Denison. Music became my passion when I began playing guitar at 14. I played in several bands through the 70's and 80's eventually becoming a sales rep in the music industry, a job which focused on the technical aspects of recording and broadcast.

Most of my life I have had the good fortune to travel around the world and experience many other cultures. South America, Europe and India have all been an artistic inspiration both visually and musically. In 1999 I began painting for the first time. I studied on my own, never having any formal training. After about a year people began purchasing my work and a year later I was beginning to show in some top galleries in Ann Arbor, Cincinnati and Austin.

Over the past few years I have had 15 solo shows and currently have work in 39 states and 10 countries. I appreciate the tremendous support that Cleveland has shown me. It's great to be showing some of my work back here in the neighborhood!
