New York, New York, United States
I am originally from California, moving with artistically inclined parents between Oakland, Los Angeles, Paris and San Francisco, where exposure to cultural and ideological diversity laid the groundwork for life as a visual thinker. Since graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1992 with a BFA in Painting, I have received awards and honors such as the Basil H. Alkazzi Award, and fellowships in painting from Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center and the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. I have been a visiting artist/lecturer at the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth and the Rhode Island School of Design where I also taught drawing. My work can be found in museums nationally and abroad including Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; University of Maine Museum of Art, Bangor; The Springfield Museum of Art, OH; and the Guilin Art Museum, China. I have exhibited in institutions, art fairs and galleries across the US and abroad, including McClain Gallery, Houston, Lee Eugean Gallery, Seoul and Sears-Peyton Gallery, New York. My work has been published and reviewed in several books and periodicals including The New York Times, Art in America and Architectural Digest, and has been a subject on NYCTV and National Public Radio. I live and work in New York and Brooklyn.
