I have been involved in the arts my entire life. I am a published poet,
having had work in a number of small magazines in the US, Canada and
Great Britain and have made mosaic dining room walls and done interior
design, as well as taught modern dance.

A number of years ago I picked up a digital camera, taught myself
Photoshop and then also started working with acrylics on canvas. I 
joined the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists' Coalition and started showing 
my work. Lately I have been drawing and painting with pen and acrylics 
on paper and canvas and love the variety of artistic mediums available 
today. I have been very lucky in this endeavor as I have sold a number 
of works over the last few years which is a perk above and beyond the 
creative outlet I found in art.

When people ask me where I get the time to produce all this art, as I
have a very full life, my answer is always that without making art I 
wouldn't be able to accomplish other things in my life. Art keeps me 
whole and moving forward. It is such a part of my life there is no 
question as to whether I have the time for such; without art I have no 
life. The only question for me is what type of art am I producing today.
