Born in Barcelona, Spain in 1954,  I lived in Portugal until immigrating to the United States in 1984. My formal art education began at the National Society of Belas Artes,  Lisbon.   In recent years I have studied Lithography at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia. While in Portugal I worked with design ateliers throughout the Lisbon area. As well as working in Madeira for the Funchal Municipality at the  Cultural Arts Center, Theatre Baltazar's Dias.  Presently I live in Rosemont, New Jersey where I spend most of my time working in the studio.
