I've been an Artist from an early age when my Artist/Interior-Designer Mother bought 6 yr.old me, The 64-Crayon-box of Crayola's (instead of the Back-to-School-Supply-madated 16-color package!) THAT-made-the-difference! I always drew (well) . I always liked to "make" things (& take things apart-too!)
In High-School-I started as a Potter, and later as a Glassblower. I taught myself to weld in High School. Later in Philly I studied Industrial Design (& Marketing). Although my early work was more- "decorative"- I've refined a sharper-focus on Functional, Timeless-Furniture, which I refer to as "Of-The-Moment". Equally- like to categorize my work as "Rough LUXE". I've Been published in The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Design Magazine, LUXE Magazine, Interior Design Magazine and MANY other publications and blogs. Heck- even "American Pickers" used an image of a Repurposed Headboard I made on their ever-popular History Channel Show.
Also I am a PHOTOGRAPHER - and I offer my images printed on Steel and as Photographic Lampshades, for sale.
