Who is halps?

I was born in the Bronx, NY and grew up in LIC. My interest in art germinated when I landed a job at Columbia Motion Pictures working in the print/mailroom. There I spent hours visiting the art department making friends and watching the artists create movie posters and 3D displays. I was then accepted by Pratt Institute, a prestigious Art School. Four years later, I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. Upon graduation, my first professional  job was a graphic designer at Dell Publishing designing sales and promotional materials for future books to be published. I went on to establish my own marketing/sales promotional design firm in Manhattan until retiring to Southern Florida. 

I became a member of the Boca Museum of Art and attended the museums art school. With my background in graphic design, I created portraits of people and animals. With my unique style and use of color, I qualified for signature membership in the Boca Artists Guild, a select group of juried artists.
