Artist Statement

 Growing up in the suburbs of Long Island during the 60's was a roller coaster ride for my generation.As a young songwriter / musician / artist, I grew up in the decade of love vs hate.The music and art scene was a reflection of the times, as Bob Dylan was singing our lives with his words and "The Summer Of Love" would close out the 60's with a 3 day music festival in Woodstock. As the world was in chaos we still managed to see the beauty in the amazing creativity of the artists and musicians of the time. Through all the political turmoil, riots in our streets, the war in Vietnam and the back to back assassinations of some of the greatest men of our time, my generation broke on through to the other side because of the inspiring art and poetic music that guided our innocent souls. We were known as the "psychedelic generation" but we were destined to make history with our art & music. I am inspired by those turbulent times they call "The Wonder Years". I feel blessed I cut my teeth during these past decades. Through my POP ART I am reflecting on a time that's gone by, the good, the bad and the ugly. As I follow my heart back to my inspired roots as a POP ARTIST, I am pouring out all the raw emotions straight into my art. You could say that I am capturing time and capsulizing it onto my canvas.
