Artist Statement
I'm an artist, illustrator, designer, and teacher. I live in Millbrook, NY. My paintings have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London, Nature Morte Gallery in Berlin, and I am represented by Kenise Barnes Fine Art on the East Coast and Visions West Contemporary in the Rocky Mountain West. They have also appeared in New American Paintings, The Paris Review, The Wall Street Journal, Guernica, Versal, Asymptote, People, Domino, Myself, Sand Journal, and Diner Journal, as well as the film My Idiot Brother and numerous book covers. I have also designed and fabricated exhibitions and displays for the Center for Urban Pedagogy, Bergdorf Goodman, Bumble and bumble, and Crumpler Bags. I am a co-founder of the Wyoming Art Party.
My practice is a marriage of the work I create in solitude in my studio, which is mainly painting, and work that lives in the world and is more collaborative or community based. In both my painting and socially engaged work, I’m interested in thinking about how both individuals and communities are seen and see themselves.
