In 1989 I earned a BA degree in Graphic Design and Illustration from Sacred Heart University in Bridgeport Connecticut.

Having drawn from a very early age I am a painter and part-time photographer with an eye for pop culture, and a passion for art history – my visual focus encompasses a wide range of diverse subjects, covering everything from the local scene, to portraits of famous faces, and the sublime beauty of the inanimate world, all in a style that is both edgy and expressive.

I am a full-time graphic artist, specializing in print design, website design/development and marketing/promotions. My business website can be viewed at: http://sjdgraphics.zeleration.com

Having worked for several local advertising agencies throughout the years, I now run my own freelance based business, servicing small and start up companies. I devote my energies to many artistic endeavors & in addition to serving as Vice President of Connecticut's Lower Naugatuck Valley Arts Council, I am also a member on the Advisory Board of the Connecticut Oil Drum Art Campaign.

Artistic disciplines include: Painting, Drawing, Photography, Creative Writing and Music.
