About + Contact

I am a mixed media artist currently based in Western New York. The work i feature on my website represents seven separate projects. These projects may seem disparate at first but in my mind, they are connected by a common thread - a focus on the environment.  I have hiked through unspoiled areas of the natural world but also throughout land that has been exploited and abandonned. I try to act as a citizen scientist, collecting and documenting what I have witnessed. I keep my eye on the trail we leave behind us, from plastic pollution in our oceans, lakes and rivers to urban decay around the 'rust belt' and I invite the viewer to come along with me on this journey.

My work has been shown all across the country from Alaska to Hawaii and along the East Coast. You can find me in several museums and in many private collections internationally. You can reach me through this website with any inquiries about artwork and exhibition opportunities.

Thank you for your interest.
