Statement
My studio practice is typically project-based and most projects involve serial small works which address specific subjects. I am particularly interested in how archaic media such as woodcuts and ceramics can be used to engage with contemporary topics.
Bio
I am a teaching artist, curator, and sole proprietor of Words On Woodcuts Press. I specialize in woodcuts, although recent work also includes ceramics and several time-based conceptual projects. My work has been exhibited in the Delaware Art Museum, Sandy Spring Museum, and Philadelphia City Hall. Through my independent press I publish books and calendars featuring my artwork. I have accepted invitations to artist residencies at the Artcroft Creative Center, Yates Arts at Sunny Point, and Soaring Gardens Artist Retreat. As a teaching artist with organizations such as the Wagner Free Institute of Science and the Mural Arts Program, I have designed highly engaging arts curriculum and have worked with hundreds of students of all ages. I am the recipient of teaching fellowships from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Print Center, and the Community Arts Center in Wallingford, and have prints in the permanent collections of libraries, universities, and arts centers. My Masters in Fine Arts degree is from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
