grew up close to Boston. While my parents always approved of my artistic

My artistic vision has been strongly
influenced by the works produced by my parents. My father, a Holocaust survivor
and psychoanalyst, painted and sculpted abstract pieces. My mother is Haitian
and paints large figures or fanciful birds in the colorful, naïve style of the

the fascinating details of the world around us.
