In the beginning there were crayons, blank paper. In books, my sister drew circles, my brother drew zig-zags, I drew birds. To my older brother, books were sacred and not to be marred. Mom noticed.

​

Year 8, Saturday’s were spent at The Cleveland Museum of Arts’ Gifted Children’s Program. Mom was pleased. Year 11, I received a scholarship to Cleveland Public Schools’ Summer Art Program. Best summer ever. There I learned the importance of capturing emotions in your art. I was in awe. Mom was very pleased.

​

At that time my parents also learned I was very good in and interested in math and science. Dad was pleased.

​

Art ended, science on the weekends began. I was confused.

​

Year 16, with my SAT scores back, I was informed “Art” could be a hobby.

​

Years later, as a mathematician and scientist, I learned knowledge is powerful. And now, science and art have combined into my art expression. I present my work to you for what I hope is a playful and informative art experience.

 

“Art With Elegance” is here - a sanctuary for artist expression. I’m pleased.
