I am a Northern New Jersey/NYC based graphic designer and mixed media artist.

By combining both graphic design and fine art, I try to create artwork that feels old, familiar and worn yet at the same time feels fresh, clean and new. I employ appropriation through the use of pop culture references, ideas and images in combination with graphic design elements (disposable utilitarian items, created for a specific single purpose), such as product manuals, lottery tickets, hand written grocery shopping lists, receipts and product packaging, and fine art techniques, such as hand painting and silk screening.
