About C&E

My path as an artist began with a fascination for capturing life’s essence through form and detail. This passion led me to immerse myself in classical methods such as sight-size drawing, constructive composition, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow. These techniques, rooted in centuries-old traditions, continue to shape my work and my perspective as an artist. My commitment to mastering the classical techniques of sculpture and drawing has brought me to the current day.

Originally from New York, I moved to Providence, R. I, to open my studio in a beautifully restored mill built in 1869, where I now share my passion for classical art in the form of teaching. My training spans the globe, from studying like the Old Masters in Italy, to learning under some of the most respected contemporary figurative artists. I’ve had the privilege of studying with Jason Arkles in Florence, where I refined my understanding of figurative sculpture and classical techniques. I was introduced to Jason, by Kevin McEvoy in New York, whose mentorship further deepened my skills in traditional drawing and painting. I have participated in numerous workshops, each of which has enriched my approach to both my craft and my teaching.

Today, I combine the skills I’ve acquired with my love of teaching, offering personalized classes and mentorship in my studio. Working with students and clients is one of the most rewarding parts of my practice—it’s a joy to share the knowledge and techniques I’ve gained through years of study and to help others develop their own creative voices. Whether I’m sculpting a custom commission or guiding a student through the foundations of drawing, my goal is always the same: to honor the depth of this world while exploring the beauty of simple moments that are always near.
