I am a painter and installation artist with a BFA from Saint Vincent College and an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA.
I am a United States combat veteran and featured member of the United States Veterans Artist Alliance.
I have received fellowships from the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and the Jentel Foundation and have lectured about the intersection of Art, War and The Body.
Notable projects include an Idea Furnace Residency at the Pittsburgh Center for Glass, a teaching workshop at the Mattress Factory Museum, scent workshops using art and olfaction, and being the Fort Ligonier Musuem's first artist-in-residence where I absorbed the history of the battlefield as a way to enter into a conversation with narrative, history, nature and interpretation
