Born and raised on Long Island. Lived in PA for half my life, and now I reside in Raleigh, NC as a graphic designer for a major lifestyle magazine. I love what seems like every facet of the words ART & DESIGN. I love painting, drawing, logo design, typography, editorial design, (okay, ALL of graphic design), sculpture, photography, printmaking, digital art, art history. I have a new interest in hand-making and hand-binding books, and making custom pinatas.
I am a college graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Art History with a fine art concentration.
At this point in my life, I love where I moved, and I love my job. I thank my son for my motivation and my purpose. I thank my friends for my sanity. And my sister keeps me cracking up and grounded in reality. I thank my boyfriend for always keeping a smile on my face and supporting my art habit. Oh, and I think my two little parrots Jax and Dexter for keeping me, well, not bored! That's my life. :)
I feel I am just catching onto my inspirations and my styles in different mediums. I have no idea where it's taking me, but I'll just hang on and see where I cruise too...
