"When I was young, my goals were definite. As time went on, my dreams grew infinite…"

Lyrics from “ I Wouldn’t Change a Thing” – Ed Alto

Truer words, in my case, have never been spoken. While maintaining a career as a Civil Engineer I have also engaged in numerous other ventures, too many to list and too many to continue. But the arts have always been my passion. This website is dedicated to music, painting, photography, and writing.

Music - The Singer/Songwriter
My music career began as the lead guitar player of “The MOZAIC”, a popular  Long Island, N.Y. rock band. After a few years I began playing solo appearing at many of Long Island’s favorite venues such as the Back Barn, Tiffany’s, and Time Piece Café. I enjoyed the challenges of being a solo-singer/guitarist, covering a wide range of contemporary artists. I began to write my own music and eventually these compositions became widely requested and a popular part of the show.

Throughout the years I have continued to develop my own style as a singer/songwriter. With my music I hope to create a unique sound by combining my guitar techniques, words, voice, and a positive outlook on life.

The Artist
I have always been passionate about art but, until recently, hadn’t allowed myself the time to pursue art with the intensity that it requires. The great thing about art is that you take the time to see the world in different ways. You watch how light reacts on objects at different times. Such as the complexity of a water drop on a leaf or the intensity of sun rays through a forest. The artist attempts to isolate a time in space to invoke an interest and emotion using various media. The challenge as an artist is to observe, improvise, and create a work of art that instills such an emotion in a viewer be it excitement, comfort, fear, anger, curiosity, etc.

I have not yet settled on any particular style as many artists eventually do. There is just too much excitement in experimentation. So, my style will continue to develop as I investigate the diverse options that art provides. I hope this diversity hits a nerve as you view my art.

The Photographer
Having traveled throughout the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe. I developed a strong appreciation for the natural and man-made wonders of our world. I invite you to enjoy some of the world’s most beautiful places captured during those travels.
