Below are a few of my own personal artworks. I usually paint using acrylic paint on wood. My subjects are animals in a realistic yet whimsical style. I strive to give my animal subjects human-like personalities and life with their expressions and poses to draw attention to the idea that animals are not so different than us and need to be respected as such. 

I completed my undergraduate degree at SUNY New Paltz in Art Education with a concentration in painting and I completed my Master of Fine Arts degree at CUNY Lehman College in painting.
