Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
I have recently participated in four Contemporary Art Festivals in Provence France. Recent shows in Brooklyn were at Sideshow, Calico, Giacobetti Paul, and Industrious Brooklyn. I have also shown work in New York at Barbara Greene, Gale Martin, and 55 Mercer galleries; and in Chicago, Philadelphia, New Haven, and Washington D.C.
