Growing up, I was part of a military family, so we moved frequently, living in different parts of the United States and even Europe for a bit. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and then went on to complete my Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Pennsylvania with a focus on Printmaking.
I taught Printmaking at the University of Pennsylvania from 1994 to 1999 and then became the Director of Visual Arts at Interlochen Center for the Arts from 2000 to 2006. Currently, I am an Associate Professor of Printmaking and 2-D Foundations at the Bloomsburg campus of the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania.
Apart from teaching, I also own Studio Paper+, a printmaking studio located in the Pajama Factory in Williamsport, PA. Additionally, I maintain the Roost, my drawing and painting studio, on my family's horse farm in Montoursville, PA.
Statement
My work often incorporates little ala prima moments, sometimes intuitive and sometimes formal. These moments are placed within a more extensive, disjointed composition. This practice smashes up the ever-contrasting confusion of my region, country, and planet.
Place, objects, and theology are themes that weave past and present moments.
