Biography

Hello, world. I am a Brooklyn, New York based selftaught illustrator. Several years ago when I was stuck in my life, I quit everything and started to paint hoping to find a new prospect in my life and nurture my inner child. Since then, I have been painting. My artwork comes from everyday life in my neighborhood. I draw, paint and print in my loft studio. Most of the materials I use are also from the neighborhood. I get inspiration from beautiful Prospect Park. I run along the Brooklyn Bridge Park. I see beautiful sunset from my rooftop. I walk around in my neighborhood with a sketchbook. And I meditate in my studio to be present.
