I am a graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. I have found a connection between understanding color and materials in fine art and gemstones and vintage jewelry. Light and color are common elements. I also love to collect fine china and earthen stone ware, silver, cut crystal, antique glass bottles, porcelain, Persian and Oriental rugs, rare and antique books, and of course fine art. I am a father of three girls and part time artist and full time art enthusiast.
