My work ranges from figure-ground painting to stylized found-object assemblage. After writing a thesis on light artist, James Turrell, I was inspired to incorporate light as a medium into the sculptural pieces. These light-fused works can function as individual objects or can be conformed into larger installations. By juxtaposing recycled objects in a reliquary format, I reference the relationship between man-made environment and human unconscious. The added element of illumination transforms our conception of what is a normal avenue to the sublime.

I have exhibited my work and curated exhibitions for over twenty years. My most recent solo exhibition was my MFA thesis installation at art.les.nyc.studios in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. While based in San Francisco, I participated in an artist residency at the Lola Gallery. I also designed and created venues for art and film, curated art and multi-media events, and worked on independent films. In 1988 I moved to San Francisco to attend the graduate program in Film/Video Performance at California College of Arts and Crafts. In 1987, I received my BA in Philosophy from Haverford College, during which time I studied at the Syracuse University Studio Art Program in Florence, Italy. I graduated with honors in Art from The Masters School in 1983 and received the Merriam Hewitt Art Award. My father, a part-time landscape painter, was my first teacher. He always involved me in his art practice stretching canvases and hanging shows. I was fortunate enough to grow up near New York City and come from a family that encouraged the study and practice of art.
