I am an artist and teacher.

I paint people, places, and things.  I find comfort in the exploration of how a person, or an environment, or an object can tell a combined history.  I make remnants and heirlooms left to tell our collective story. And ask what will be our future heirlooms? And what story should they tell of the present?

I am a New York City based painter.
