Artist and educator born in Victoria, BC, and based in Brooklyn, NY, with a BA from Wesleyan University and an MFA from CUNY/Hunter College.

My drawings and paintings explore boundaries between bodies and the world, recording imprints of experience from memory and observation.

Group and solo shows include Che Tango in Paris; 167 Wilson and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, in Brooklyn; Plum Benefits, Hunter College Galleries, and Waterhouse & Dodd, in Manhattan; American University in Washington, DC; Pasture Gallery in New Hampshire; and the Contemporary Art Workshop in Chicago.

My museum education work has focused on academic, performance, and studio programs, at institutions including the Frick Collection, the Jewish Museum, the Yale University Art Gallery, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
