Caricature Artist

After countless jobs and three years of college without a sense of direction, having lost interest in my family owned chocolate business, I enrolled for a second time in the local college to focus on art. Two years later I was accepted at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA, and graduated with a BFA in Illustration.

Soon I was freelancing, illustrating for a few ads, t-shirt design, posters, murals, children's books, and miscellaneous projects. When freelance slowed down, I found steady employment at Knott's Berry Farm and then Universal Studios Hollywood where my introduction and training into the world of caricature began. Ten years drawing thousands of faces was an invaluable experience.

Currently I enjoy entertaining and honing my craft drawing caricatures at proms, weddings, birthdays, grad nights, mitzvah's, parties and special events. While interacting with children and adults alike, my goal is to be the life of the party by generating smiles, laughter, and lots of fun.
