Welcome to C.D.L Art. I'm a Buffalo-born artist whose creative path began at an early age in graphic design leading me to Villa Maria College then R.I.T where I graduated and it evolved into a deeply creative journey.

My latest vibe has been to revive the lost copper glow that once defined our regions architecture and bring that shine back into our modern city and suburban décor. This vision debuted after the O.L.V basilica started redoing the dome in 2025 and I put it and other structures painted in a mural at Crescendo Lofts with a campaign I called: Copper Eyes WNY—an 8x8ft commissioned by Natale Builders benefiting 'Stars of Hope'.

Since then, this copper-inspired theme has appeared at Buffalo Fashion Runway’s Main Block Party with artisan items, Music Is Art with a 15-foot mural depicting parts of WNY as if gleaming in copper again and at an educational workshop for Old Firstwards Art & Heritage fest where I was granted a grant to host.

Today, I'm now offering a niche cleaning copper service on residential bay windows, reimagining our radiant past as other cities have done. Feel free to email or call if you found my flyer and would like to have a steady conversation about it. If you're on the socials, be sure to follow the fun looking up Copper Eyes WNY!

A little bit more about my past, I've had the good fortune of once featured nationally in Urban Outfitters (for an illustrated humor book rated 4.7/5 on Amazon), I had a stint in Chicago where I lived and helped brands and regionally, my first mural appeared at The Hatch at Erie Basin Marina. I've designed print ads for the Decorators’ Show House, spoken for the Interior Design Association of WNY about the importance of the business card and you can see more in the gallery section of this site :)

I am a people person and have also served on committees for Rock the Barn and the Brian Dux Assist Fund. Today my full time job is mentoring individuals with disabilities, helping them pursue meaningful, creative goals but whether you've seen a flyer or connected with me through art events, I'm always interested in commissions, murals or restoration projects cleaning copper in town!
