I moved to Brooklyn from upstate New York, where I was adjunct 
professor of Printmaking, Papermaking, and Interdisciplinary 
Practices at Buffalo State College and the University at Buffalo. 
After receiving my MFA, I worked in the curatorial department 
at the Albright Knox Art Gallery on a large accession of prints 
ranging from Rembrandt to Rauschenberg. My mixed media works 
reflect on issues of collective memory, archive, and loss. 
While in Buffalo I completed a collaborative site-specific 
installation in an abandoned police precinct on the city’s west 
side, which I attended incognito as a giant pink stuffed bear. 
I have been a key holder at the Lower East Side Print Shop, 
and have shown at the International Print Center New York. 
Together with my collaborator, Todd Mariani, I have formed 
Reciprocal Press, a collective web exhibition space for new 
media projects that has yet to find its inaugural members.

I grew up in Buffalo, New York, where I acquired a fascination 
for small objects. I wasn’t very interested in education or 
school and spent most of my time playing in the mud and foolishly 
picking up dead bees on dares. As I grew up I became interested 
in learning and became involved in education. I attended the 
School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Buffalo State College 
and finally the University of Buffalo where I received my MFA 
in Painting. After that I taught painting, drawing and graphic 
design at a few different local colleges. I was also fortunate 
to work with seven area high schools teaching kids to build their 
own web sites and create multimedia projects based on their 
curriculum. I currently work for an e-learning company designing 
content for educational software.
