Short Artist Bio

I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY, but have called Miami my home for about twenty years. Since my move to this vibrant city, some of my stints include teaching English at Miami-Dade College as an adjunct professor and attaining an MFA in Creative Writing in Fiction at FIU.

My multi-disciplinary practice includes writing, photography, drawing and painting, as well as making resin sculpture marionettes which will be used in an upcoming stop-motion film. Exhibitions include IPC Artspace, CAMP Gallery and the Coral Springs Museum of Art.

Currently I work full-time in my art studio at Collective62 in the Liberty City neighborhood. Drop by at any time or contact me to see some of my collection and works in progress.
