In my early twenties, I started showing my art work out of my working studio at the time Magoo’s Monkey Zoo. Which was named in tribute to the 23 primates that were killed in the tragic fire in the primate house at the Philadelphia Zoo.  I spent a lot of time among those cages when I was a child and I started to question human evolution and my own existence It was then that i had the recognition that I was nothing more than a primal being my self with a whole lot of technology. For over thirty five years now since the age of fifteen i have been producing my art starting in acrylic paint with a change over to oil paint on stretched canvas only after a few paintings. Leaving only a few of these early works in acrylic available. As well working/extensively in pen and ink on paper as well as other mediums it has evolved over the years into a sizable collection of art works worthy of collecting and maintaining there integrity as long as it can be preserved on this planet, and beyond. As digital art has given us the abilities to do so. I again evolved as did my art. Threw the years I have developed a style all of my own and again i have grown always evolving. Now I am experimenting in sound and light. with a solo sound project entitled Naked Buy Noon. I am developing an abstract poetic, folk / punk Acoustic ,unpolished , raw percussion sound that forms from my internal chaos inside my self centering  with an end result of  melodic patterns manifesting into music. Witch is bought to by  Naked Buy Noon for your listening pleasure out of my studio located at Pools Corner Doylestown PA.
