Hi, born in New Jersey in 1975, drawing since I could hold a crayon, New Yorker from 1987 to 2014, moved to the country then and not going back. Eastern shore of Virginia now and quite like it. High Schools of Art and Design, some SVA classes but consider myself self taught; I took photography and filmmaking in HS and mostly showed up at SVA for the movies. Funny how such a dedicated cinephile has a hard time making it through any movies these days…
Now I paint in oils, with occasional forays into watercolor, acrylic and sculpting, though the last is usually either maquettes for painting or wargaming stuff, either of which is less art than craft IMHO, though one can lead to another.
Apart from art, I read a lot, write a little , run a small business selling collectibles, do my best raising my kids (5, 7 and 14), adore my wife, play guitar and a little synthesizer, and enjoy doing handyman type stuff, fixing things and building other things.
