Studying with Fluxus artist Robert Watts at Douglass College, Rutgers University, gave me a deep appreciation for the spontaneous and serendipitous, which I have carried with me throughout my space-hopping NYC studio life. In 2020, I received a "Bronx Recognizes Its Own" (BRIO) painting grant from the Bronx Council for the Arts, and I have been an artist-in-residence at the Millay Colony. My paintings and mixed-media work have been exhibited in New York, Provincetown, New Haven, Philadelphia, Berlin, Venice, and elsewhere, and I have participated in the Governors Island and Aqua Art Miami art fairs. I live and have my studio in the Bronx.
