I am a photographer and artist located in Baltimore, MD. My work is multi-media in nature. I do not believe in sticking to one material or pursuing just one theme. Instead, I am interested in the intersection of ideas and believe that experimentation is the marker of a great artist.
I'm an abstract artist currently working in painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, and photography. I earned my BFA, with a concentration in painting, from Kutztown University in 1996. For 20 years I was a long term art substitute teacher at Baltimore County Public Schools K-12. I'm currently practicing art full-time in my Hampden studio.
