| I became a serious artist somewhat late in my life. I was advised against art as a profession during early schooling. I was warned that Artist often do not fair well financially. My earliest art training took place in Detroit Michigan. I took advantage of the many free neighborhood art programs available at that time before winning a scholarship to art school.
In 1986 I moved to New York City where I continued my Arts education at Bob Blackburns Printmakers workshop of New York. While in New York, I made sure to see and hear all of the living legends of Jazz Music. Music is a major motif in my art work.
As a student, I was moved by the works of the Impressionist, Expressionist, Surrealist, Futurist, Cubist, the Mexican Muralist and African Sculpture.
While living in New York I got involved in Public Art. I have completed commissions in Brooklyn New York and Newark New Jersey.
In my work I celebrate my joy in being alive. I fill my work with energy, color and movement.
