I am a classically trained artist working in traditional media such as Oils, Pastel, and Metalpoint (Silver and Gold point) drawing.
I am a graduate of the professional program at Nelson Shank's Studio Incamminati (www.studioincamminati.org) in Philadelphia, PA and I previously graduated from Delaware College of Art and Design in 2007. I have over 10 years of working with models, both in a classroom/studio setting, as well as private sessions.
I am an Instructor in the professional program at Studio Incamminati, as well as the Upper School Art teacher at Doane Academy in Burlington, NJ. In addition to these traditional visual arts practices I also run a small videography business.
Working from life means that I have a constant need for good, reliable, professional models. I treat my models with the utmost respect and always acknowledge the importance of your work to my work. I give frequent pose breaks, heaters/fans/AC when needed, and provide a safe, friendly, and comfortable work environment.

****For Traveling Models**** Thanks to the generosity of my wife, I can offer you a place to stay in our third bedroom. The room has a queen sized bed, en suite bathroom with tub/ shower and full sized vanity sink, a glider chair, a full dresser, a TV w/ blu-ray player, and plenty of privacy. Here in Wilmington you are less than 20 minutes from I-95, I-295, and I-495 and close to an Amtrak station. Wether you are on your way north (Philly, 45 mins or New York, 1hr 45mins) or South (Baltimore, 90mins or DC, 2hrs) we are on the way. If you'd like to work out a trade for some hours of posing in exchange for place to stay or some combination of cash and a place to stay, let me know! ********
