I was born in Orleans, France June 14, 1941. I graduated from Central University of Venezuela receiving a BA degree in Architecture in 1976. At the age of 15, I began painting as a hobby. By studying the great old classics and impressionist masters, I developed into a self taught artist. In 1970, I began participating in annual presentation Art Exhibits at the Architectural School of the Central University of Venezuela and received various awards. In 1985 I received a special award at an Art Exposition sponsored by the government of the State of Sucre, Venezuela. I owned several construction businesses, however, I continued to develop an passion for my art. In search of new art experiences, in 2003 I began painting custom murals for various clients throughout the Bay Area.
