Born in Brooklyn New York on September 11th, 1982, I attended Saint Ann’s School, a small liberal, institution located in Brooklyn Heights. Following high school, I attended Amherst College, in Massachusetts, where I studied both Fine Arts and English. At Amherst, the landscape became an important motif in my work, a subject that would prove vital to my artistic development. After graduation, I moved back to New York where I worked at an architectural practice before picking up painting again. Landscape shifted to “urban-scape”, as trucks, asphalt, and elevated train tracks infiltrated the work, transforming the overall image, and the focus of the subject. Now, having completed another three years of school at Yale's Graduate School of Architecture, I have returned once again to NYC, where I paint and employed at Rogers Marvel Architects.
