As an artist, art educator and creative leader with nearly 30 years of experience in K-12 art education, I have always focused on both artmaking and teaching and how the two can feed one another for the benefit of the students and larger community. My focus in both fields has always been that of a life-long learner whose focus on collaboration and connection has led to innovation in meaningful and purposeful ways. Currently, I teach visual art to grades 7-12 at the Trinity School in New York City.

Recent exhibits of my drawing, paintings and collaborations include a solo show in Brooklyn, a group show with Young Soy gallery of Hong Kong as well as shows in New York, Amsterdam, Chicago and Miami for Art Basel. My work is a part of private and public collections around the world including the permanent collection of White & Case, Aston Martin, American Copper Building, Jack Daniels and the Baltimore Museum of Art. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Poetry Society of New York and have been an Art21 Educator for the past 3 years.
