Since the age of 12 I began a love affair with ancient Egyptian art. At first I read every book I could find in the library which at that time was very limited. By the time I was 14 I was drawing the paintings from the tomb walls free hand. By the time I was 21 I was accepted to study at UCLA's Near Eastern Studies Department, but somehow other forces intervened.

But my love for and skill working in ancient Egyptian art has always remained. The art has also encouraged me to study the Middle East, its people, religions and customs. I have no doubt that I am a better person today for having created this opportunity for myself. At this time in my life, I am also very open to working with art departments in the advertising or motion picture business that have need for this type of artwork.
