About

I am an artist who cherishes reason, balance, and ambiguity. I express
it through a variety of working methods – from abstracted landscapes
to nonobjective paintings of grids. I have many bodies of work in
painting and poetry – to rhyming and prose poems – and I believe discovery
exists at the edges of perception.

My Mom and Dad have been my best and greatest influences. Brice
Marden’s and Agnes Martin’s work in painting and writing are among them.
In poetry – William Butler Yeats, Emily Dickinson, Ralph Waldo
Emerson's work in both poetry and essays, Jack Kerouac, Charles
Bukowski, Janet Frame, William Blake, and Edgar Allan Poe’s work are
ever present among many of my contemporaries, both male and female.

I received my Bachelors of Fine Art from the School of Visual Arts in
New York City, with honors. My Masters of Fine Art is from Hunter
College, City University of New York.
