In 1979, I began my career as an artist in the South Bronx the place where I was born and raised.
                                                                                       
     In 1988 I was included in the group exhibition at Fashion Moda New York City, Titled, "The South Bronx Show." I've exhibited my work at Fashion Moda for the next 3 years. At the same time I had exhibited at PPH gallery as well.



    My education was in textile design from the Fashion Institute of Technology which would lead to a very difficult and demanding field where I designed clothing for singers such as,Janet Jackson, Anita Baker, all the way to DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. I created a line of children's clothing at this time that I sold throughout the USA.
    During 1987 through 1989 I also worked on a variety of projects including; the backdrop for Steam pipe Alley, MTV, and a giant backdrop for DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's last tour.


    I had my first "one man show at "space time light gallery", also 2 group shows at the same gallery. In 1997 and 1998 at Sotheby's auction house in New York in there yearly employee art show, also at Guernsey's auction in New York, which contained the works of Haring and Basquiat at the time.

     In July of 1999 I exhibited at a group show at "American Vision 145 Gallery.
     In June, July and August of 2002 I exhibited at a group show at the "Bottom FeedersGallery.


     In 2003 I exhibited at "Gallery 1199" In this year I also sold many of my works throughout Europe and the USA through on line auctions.
     Between 2004 and now I've continude to put on gallery shows from New York, Los Angeles all the way to Amsterdam, I've designed several sneakers for Air Jordan including a pair of limited editions only sold in paris. a watch design for Jacob the Jewerler and back packs for kids through tattoot bags.
     My work has changed over the years. The change has occurred because of several unique reasons. The most important being the thought of the process, in combination with precise attention to color and an open channel feeling in my heart each and every time I sit down to work.
