Biography

Originally from Illinois, I have called greater Boston home for over two decades. After earning a BFA in Painting from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1997, I ventured to Norwich, England, to study at Norwich University of the Arts in the mid-90s. I graduated with an MFA in Sculpture from Rutgers University's Mason Gross School of the Arts in 1999. My work has been showcased in group and juried exhibitions. I also bring my B2B marketing and graphic design expertise alongside my artistic endeavors, with over twenty years of experience in the lighting and semiconductor industries.
