Transformative Artist, Tech Maven, & Storyteller

From Circuits to Canvases I began my career engrossed in the precision of Electronics Engineering—circuits, equations, and all. But fate had other plans, and so did I. I re-invented myself, first into a Portraitist, capturing the fluid beauty of human faces.

The Soul of a Portraitist Why portraits, particularly of beautiful women? Because beauty captivates me—not just physical beauty but the dynamic, ever-changing aura that transforms every twenty minutes or so during a sitting. Mostly commissioned, each piece of my art is a dialogue in oils, graphite, charcoal, and soft pastels between my muse and me.

Tech Interlude: Coding & Leadership Between my periods as an artist and a writer, I metamorphosed again and donned the hat of an IT professional. Coding was a different kind of art, one of logic and problem-solving but still creative. I contracted with a few Fortune 500 companies. My journey even took me to the sun-soaked beaches of the Dominican Republic, where I served as the CTO of a large tourism company.

Another New Chapter Called Writing The chrysalis opened again, and I emerged as a writer. My debut book, a guide to self-publishing, is available on Amazon. It serves as a roadmap for those daring to venture into the intricacies of putting their words out in the world.

Divine Creativity & Storytelling I write to dive deep into the divine creativity that we all hold within. My stories are vehicles for self-exploration, gateways to hidden corners of human emotions and experiences. I discovered that the world is moved by the power of storytelling, more than just words.

Join Me on Medium & Beyond I'm still learning, still evolving. My articles are primarily hosted on Medium, where I traverse the nuances of compelling storytelling each day. I also have a presence on SubStack for my newsletter(s). Stay tuned; this journey is far from over, and you won't want to miss what comes next.

It is important to me that children develop character.I also write about Love, and Business, and the lifestyle of an Artist. I became a Portraitist in 1976.
