Education USA
I first came to fine art in 1990, I began my schooling in Los Angles California where I studied the fundamentals of drawing from a totally philosophical point of view.

Education Canada
In 1992, I was accepted to continue my academic studies at the Ontario College of Art ( Canadas oldest art school) from which I graduated with honours in 1996. My education encompassed art history, theoretical & studio practices in both painting and sculpture and eastern and western philosophy.

Education Mexico
I travelled every winter to San Miguel de Allende to continue my art education, exhibiting and teaching somehow incorporating their cultural and philosophy in my on-going work.
