Tell us about yourself: I am a professionally trained visual artist and I attended both the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. My father played music (not professionally) and he passed on to me the love for the music. I create most of my art inspired by jazz music. And for the past 15 years, I have been curating art exhibitions based on jazz music. This year marks my 12th Anniversary celebration for my festival Visual Arts and Jazzfest(tm), a festival dedicated to visual arts and jazz.
