Hi there! I'm an artist and illustrator, writer and researcher, adequate cook and aspiring accordionist. My first book, "Art Hiding in New York: An Illustrated Guide to the City's Secret Masterpieces" with author Lori Zimmer, was published September 2020 by Running Press. Currently splitting time between Buffalo and NYC.
