For three decades now, I have been setting up camp around the world. From my Princeton sandbox to the Plaza of Sonoma, I have worked from what is revealed by site and the fingerprints I impart always with the help of strangers. I have traveled with my few possessions in hand through the Appalachian Range on foot for 34 days North to South, then to return along the Atlantic’s Tidewater reversing my coordinates. For the past decade now on the Pacific Coast, annual pilgrimages have taken me into the Sierra Nevada Range. Through the Amazon, I have canoed, fished, hunted and trekked. From Houston to San Francisco from Rome to Rio, from Bangkok to Barcelona, I have immersed myself in extreme urban environments. From engagement with sites, strange at first and then familiar with time, I find my inspiration. My sculptural works considers site, community, material and experience in life-size dimensions using architectural language and materials from or inspired by sites.
Throughout my years in San Francisco, I have worked in the arts at galleries, museums and most recently as a Studio Manager for a portrait artist for the past two years in addition to my own studio work. My art work has been included in exhibitions at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, New Langton Arts, the SomArts Gallery, Minna Street Gallery, the San Francisco Design Museum and many others.
