I work primarily out of my home studio in the north end of New Bedford. My wife and I bought a house bigger than we needed in order to have creative and work space where we live. I work out of a room that I turned into a studio. I store large canvases in an extra bedroom upstairs and store gallons of latex paint in our basement. Large artwork is stored on our front porch. My wife has fully accepted that we live in an art studio!

The artist community in New Bedford and on the SouthCoast impacts me in an immensely positive way. I feel that my practice is growing stronger, faster because of the continuous support, suggestions, and advice I get from other artists and professionals here. I also feel very backed by the City itself as the institutions here also offer great support. New Bedford Creative has been a impactful and important institution to me by offering opportunities and grant programs. I am also grateful to our local galleries that create spaces to show my work. Our historical, vibrant city is a constant source of inspiration!
