I was born in Queens, NY in 1979. My parents and I relocated to Miami, FL when I was a toddler. I am a product of the Miami Dade Public School system, in large part of the visual arts magnet program.  I received a Bachelor and Masters Degree of Art Education from FIU in 2001 and 2003 respectively.  I have taught art at Carol City Elementary in Miami for 8 years now.  I have always practiced in the various forms of art. In 1997 I developed an art creation technique which I have since trademarked using the work "Twyling" to distinguish my technique, style, and overall product. I have been marketing my work since 2004.  Since then my popularly and sales have improved more than 70%. My work can be seen at tiartgallery.com and media interviews on uvuvideo.org.  It's a must see!
