For a complete dossier and list of prior shows, please send me an email or call me. I received my MFA recently and am at beginning of my fine art career. I’m actively seeking good opportunities to show work. If you’re a curator for a group show or a gallery representative, I am interested in speaking with you. I maintain a rotating selection of museum grade, framed prints. As such I can get ready-to-hang work to you quickly and easily.

Technical Info:

I shoot film – primarily 6x7 and mostly black and white. Though I occasionally end up in the darkroom, I am now scanning my film for most applications. Work prints and small display prints are done on Epson’s newest generation inkjet printers, while all show prints and those that I sell are true C-prints produced with Lightjet on Fuji Archival papers.

About the work:

My work tends to convey ideas related to solitude and discovery. I always work alone and generally when traveling for extended periods of time. I’m interested in development and displacement, visual representations of economic decline or stagnation, and political/cultural oddities. And, like most visual artists, I look for and question what is beautiful and why.

Please don’t hesitate to send me an email should you have any thoughts or questions about my work.
