I was born in italy in 1966, raised and educated in Troy New York.
I started drawing while in grade school where I realized I had a natural talent thanks to my teacher who showed, with great enthusiasm, her collegues
a color portrait I had drawn. Since then I continued drawing while developing a growing interest in comics which remains to this very day. I continued my studies in italian art schools since my family relocated back to italy in 1984.
In Florence, I graduated from the "Liceo Artistico" (Art high school) and 4 years later from the Accademy of Fine Arts specializing in oil painting.
From my art school days I have learned various techniques in painting, scultping, and drawing which I developed to a unique-personal style.
The recurring compliments on my drawings reguard the realistic style on the human expressions and this is perfect when it comes to doing sequentials.
Since 1989 I've participated in many art exihibitions with my oil paintings most of which in Florence.
My commissioned work is in the range of oil paintings, logos, posters, murals, and since 2017 statue realization and rennovation. I have also recently co-operated with british authors with cover-design and illustrations for their published works.
