Early Influences:
1995-96 “The Palette Paradigm”, an Interdisciplinary Education Program developed by artist and educator Doug DePice at Secaucus High School, Secaucus, NJ. This foundational experience not only inspired a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of concepts and ideas across various disciplines such as English, Math, Science, Art, History, and Psychology, but it continues to influence my art practice to this day.
