Biographical Info
I spent my life feasting on art. I received a couple degrees in Fine Arts from Kendall College of Art and Design and also studied art at WMU. I continued my studies at the Art Institute of Chicago, and have toured the inside walls of many of the major world class art museums. I was bitten by the plein air painting bug around 2000. I spent the entirety of my career painting mostly portraits. I started in fashion illustration, that graced the Chicago newspapers, and spent the heft of my career employed as an art director at Leo Burnett advertising agency.
