In addition to my extensive training in historical oil paint practices, I create drawings, etchings, silk screens, and occasionally - digital designs.  My love of working with paper and textiles began as a student studying calligraphy at the Cooper Union and assisting with restoration and preservation of historical texts and textiles from Europe, the America’s, and Africa. My frequent visits to art and book stores in New York City cemented my learning and love of fine artist materials, book arts and their respective applications.
