I am a sculptor/installations artist. I work with found objects. I like using materials no one else wants to build extraordinary structures. This experience gives me a feeling of renewal, freshness, and invigorates what had been overlooked and passed by. In my residency I hope to share my process with kids of whatever age. In past exhibitions I have enjoyed helping the kids choose elements from discarded materials and experience the joy of building something monumental in size.

Sometimes an arbitrary element becomes the core expression of our endeavors. This can be exciting, as everyday objects become charged archetypal symbols hinting at an underlying calligraphy of humanity. Reordering discarded remnants can be like mining the subconscious. Artists reside in a collective dream space, and invite society to become aware of this deeper reality. Mine is a process of grappling and discovery, bringing forth fleeting moments of truth.

I received my training at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where I received a BFA. I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Milton Avery School of Fine Arts, Bard College. My installations have been exhibited throughout the United States, including the Southern Ohio Museum, the Sculpture Center in Cleveland, Pier Walk in Chicago, the Weston Art Gallery in Cincinnati and Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park in Hamilton, Ohio.
