It's all about Making Wings
My personal philosophy is simple: The most important thing you can do is make wings for yourself and fly to places that fulfill your potential, allow you to develop your unique gifts, and open up a world of love and friendship.
Some things about myself:
Winner of the 2008 Joseph Burger Humanitarian Award (Dowling College, Oakdale, NY), I'm an artist/photographer, writer, lecturer, and docent at the American Museum of Natural History who currently lives in Bayport, Long Island.
>> As an artist/photographer, I have a commitment to the art and craft of drawing, employing various media, including crayon, pencil, graphite, inks, digital photos, and oil pastels. My work has been shown at galleries in Manhattan and on Long Island since 2007. One place I display my work regularly is the online gallery, BAREBRUSH. Pay a visit to see my recent work.

Two collections of verse, How the Dinosaurs Devoured the Humans and The Letter S, and a volume of short stories titled Ten are currently available at Amazon.com.

>> I also lecture regularly on a variety of arts and humanities topics at local libraries and at conferences.
>> I'm also a member of and donor to The Jessup Society at The American Museum of Natural History and the Encore Society at The Metropolitan Opera. In addition, I always try to support a wide range of charitable organizations, especially those devoted to preserving Earth's environment and to supporting children-at-risk around the world.
