A thumbs up from a grandma while installing an instant gallery on the street in Philadelphia is proof to me that art is powerful. An unsuspecting passerby who is suddenly face to face with a work of art causes a reaction. Paintings hung around a trash filled lot changes ugliness into beauty. Receiving a thankful message from someone who has found these paintings and hung them in their home is a gift. Art exists to make our lives better.

My art is a mix of Greco-Roman influences and candy coated colors with a twist of pop culture thrown in. I've collaborated with t-shirt labels 2K by Gingham (LA) and Clone Propaganda (Lisbon). Ellen's DJ wore my Hipster tee in the November 2007 issue of InTouch Weekly (that was nice!) and the 2K t-shirts landed in boutiques from ZOZO in Japan to Colette in Paris. I also co-wrote lyrics for Jenny & Me's debut EP "Neon Halos" produced by Andrew Lipke and released in December 2011. (you should hear it, those two are beautiful!) I currently live and work in Collingswood, New Jersey. Thanks for visiting.
