1976. A very important year. Born in new Hyde Park, on a very Long Island that was never really long enough in New York State. Family life was colorful and dysfunctional on a level that is individually painful but unfortunately common to many. There was happiness as well. Let's not forget. College began miles away in 1995. Buffalo. All of life’s mundane procedures were in the studio. Left it now and then, but mostly inside and produced. Produced and worked. Severe sickness was an unintentional result. Intervention. Exhibits followed, chronologically in time, the only order in life. 1996, works enter private collections. 1997. 1998. Galleries. Art Days. A graduation with a fractured family. Awards. New York City, 1999. Permanent residence. Public showings in Queens, Manhattan. Living and trying to live. Money is an issue. Sell. Paint. Sell. Live.
