I am a figurative realist oil painter, drawing and painting teacher. I've studied academic drawing and painting at the Art Students League in New York City and SafeHouse Atelier California. I've mentored with professional artists, interned with Massive Black for digital concept art, studied artistic anatomy including work from cadavers. I studied ecorche with the former head of anatomy of the Florence Academy of Art, Andrew Ameral. I've shown paintings in Manhattan, winning Honorable Mention at a juried exhibit. I've worked for Bay Area Classical Art Atelier, and started the youth class at Sadie Valeri Atelier. I teach private lessons independently.
