I started singing professionally at Resorts in the Catskills and Poconos when I was 14 going on 28. In those days I made myself older to be able to work the night clubs. Today, I am much younger LOL.

In between being the opening act for some famous comics such as Sid Caesar, Joey Bishop, Freddie Roman, Art Carney......I started painting.

In between singing engagements Sid Caesar gave me my first painting commission. That inspired me to pursue painting more seriously, and I truly enjoy creating landscapes partly from reality and partly from my somewhat colorful imagination.
