About me: 

​

I was born in Upstate New York in 1977 and raised in the Hudson Valley immersed in art; my family was fully focused on creative exploration, and when I wasn't making art I was playing soccer. Art and soccer brought me to 

Hartwick College, where I received my BA in Sculpture in 1999.

 

My work at that time was almost entirely three dimensional, involving glassblowing, metalsmithing, and conceptual installation. While in a post-baccalaureate program at MICA, I began creating working with wax and oil on panels, creating pieces that didn't have academic explanation for me; I didn't intend for them to have a statement, and would typically create them while meditating, working spontaneously and without an end game. 

​

After a move to Brooklyn, NY in 2002 with my partner, Mary, I began selling the panels on the street, typically in Union Square and Central Park. This went on for the next 5 years while meeting countless friends and collectors, a critical time in my personal and artistic developement. 

​

In 2011, we moved to the Bay Area and I was soon metalworking and teaching youth classes at The Crucible while enjoying the unique arts opportunities offered in Northern California. I continued sculptural metalwork after we made our way to Colorado in 2017, fabricating custom architectural elements in homes in Aspen, Boulder and Denver. 

​

I am honored to have my work in hundreds of homes, and my piece, “Wendy Williams Packing Heat,” is a permanent part of the Annette and Peter Nobel Collection, shown at the Museum of Modern Art in Salzburg in 2010. I also have pieces on permanent display in Japan and England. 

​

Annapolis, Maryland is now my home, and I work closely with ArtFarm and Maryland Hall as an encaustic instructor. Click here to see my upcoming class schedule!
