About the Artist

I am a retired public high school teacher now focused on making art. My work is primarily mixed media sculptural pieces centered around themes of social awareness. My most recent installation was titled "under the influence" and was about the gun culture in our country. My home and studio are located in Carroll County

2020 Installation at NOMA Gallery, Frederick, MD. The work exposes the misinformation and deception that formed the core of the Trump Administration, and primarily its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. Objects are attached to 2' x 4' panels and then coated with beeswax.
Installation piece from "under the influence" comprised of 1,152 hand-cast lead bullets. Each bullet is suspended by a monofilament and suspended from the ceiling. The installation speaks to the gun culture in our Country and the number of bullets approximates the number fired during the Las Vegas mass shooting.
