Biography
Cathartic and drenched in toungue-in-cheek symbolism, in my work makes use of fluidity, energy, juxtaposition, transparency, control and color to address contradiction, tension, obscurity, harmony, renewal, and balance.
Born in NYC on December 9th, 1974, I have been painting in oils for over twenty years. In 1998, my senior year at SVA, I was smooshed by a taxi and lost the use of my painting hand. Although I muddled through to finish my BFA in 2000 and dabbled a bit afterwards, I had given up hope of making a proper "go" at the art-world. But I couldn't change my spots and in 2006, as a senior MA candidate in Arts Administration at Teachers College, I took "introduction to painting" as a coast-class while I finished my thesis. I haven't left the studio since.
