About me

NJ > NYC > PHL

I have two nearly identical dogs, Banana and Frannie. Obsessed with sci-fi and horror... and trying to comprehend theoretical physics. I've been making art my entire life and have been fortunate enough to call it a career for over two decades.

About my work

Bright, playful, and bold, my work is driven by thoughtful ideas and curiosity. Every piece is an opportunity to spark a little wonder—whether it lives on a page, a wall, or in a few little boxes. If it makes someone smile, laugh, or even raise an eyebrow, I’ve done my job.

This year I really want to...

ilIustrate a children's book, book a solo exhibition, and (hopefully) work with you!
