Biography

I am a Long Island–based printmaker whose practice reflects both reverence for the natural world and unease with its ongoing decline. A graduate of the Tyler School of Art, I have exhibited in the United States and internationally, including in Germany as part of the Mini Print Exchange with Open Press Project. My work is currently on view at Art Studio Hamptons Gallery, LI and Los Angeles Printmaking Society, LA.

Mother Earth will never be America’s God, though nature is my religion. A good greenhouse or a beautiful garden, my church. The color green is euphoric. I worship nature because we need it. I believe we should be looking to it for answers. It should never be neglected or overlooked. Nature is our planet and our planet is our heaven.
I imagine the greenhouse is the future for plants. A world without the resources we need. The greenhouse is our answer to protecting and preserving. A living museum of what the earth has provided for us.
