I am a New York-born and-Brooklyn based artist whose work resides at the intersection of high and low culture. I am inspired equally by the sublime and the banal; by Kurt Schwitters and Fred Flintstone; Mexico City and all shades of the color green.

Two life-long passions that drive my work are my love of polka dots and my ongoing enthusiasm for vintage paper ephemera, comics and books. I use collage and silkscreen to combine and juxtapose the two, creating a dynamic visual world of layered contrasts. This palette of visual obsessions inspires me in many ways, as I explore the relationship between high and low, order and chaos, the abstracted and the everyday. I strive to push and challenge the boundaries of conventional printmaking: I paint with paper.

Dots are my figure, my landscape and my frame. They serve to focus, reveal, subsume and re-contextualize my abstracted paper narratives. The root of my narrative choices begins with a love of paper and its physical tactile nature. I am drawn to paper and books produced in the 60s and ’70s: a time when printing techniques were conveyed in a more simple and unsophisticated way. I use a printing process that has not changed in decades. I find this all refreshing in today’s high-tech virtual world.

I was born in New York City in 1960 and graduated from Oberlin College in 1982. From 1984 through 2005, I was a graphic designer and had my own company. My clients included: Lincoln Center Theater, MTV, AMC, Harper Collins, Chronicle Books, Zoetrope magazine and Nickelodeon.

Since 2005 I have focused on my art practice and have exhibited at: The Pavel Zoubok Gallery, Islip Museum of Art, International Print Center NY, Dowd Art Gallery, Kris Graves Projects, The Hunterdon Art Museum, SVA gallery, Municipal Hall of La Pasión (Valladolid, Spain) and the flat files at Pierogi 2000. My work has been featured in Kolaj magazine, Plastikcomb Magazine and in July 2023 the cover of the New York Times Kids section. I was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome.
