I’ve always moved between music and visual art. For me, they’ve never felt like separate pursuits but different ways of telling a story — through melody, words, photographs, paint, light and texture.

I grew up in Brooklyn, where my earliest landscape was tall buildings and concrete. At five, I attended summer camp in the Catskill Mountains, and suddenly discovered an entirely different world — nature, music and art. Those early experiences stayed with me and continue to find their way into the work I make today.

I began as a classically trained pianist and later attended Berklee College of Music, where I studied composition. I started my professional career as a songwriter and performing musician in New York City, eventually becoming a staff songwriter for Warner Chappell Music. My music has appeared in film, television and national media, and today I continue to write and record with artists, musicians and producers, creating songs and instrumental music for film, television and other visual media.

Alongside music, photography and painting became another way for me to explore story, memory and connection. My photographic work has been exhibited internationally in museums and galleries and published in four books, including Beauty and Wisdom. My paintings combine abstraction, texture and words, reflecting the same sense of story and emotion that runs through my music.

Whether I’m sitting at a piano, behind a camera or in front of a canvas, I’m interested in much the same thing: finding the emotional thread that connects us.
