I am a passionate illustrator who has done many projects with successful outcomes around the globe. As a kid I liked to draw pictures with my friend whose father was a professional illustrator. At one point I surprised myself by winning the Peace Poster Competition in Queens, NY. Later my studies took me to Pratt Institute where I had a lot of figure drawing classes with professional illustrators, before and after going into Industrial Design. A modern sensibility allowed my work to be embraced in the architecture office, and in the advertising and graphics environments as well. One example was a case for a architecture model I made that was a success at Barneys NY, and Tokyo, as a leather bag. Whether it is a 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional project, my eye for cuteness, pretty color and shape is strong. I like to illustrate children's stories, invent new scenes for characters and environments, and have a exciting sense of color. I use gouache and watercolor, pen and ink, oil paint, and my images translate well into vector computer generated images.
