I am a multimedia artist, potter, painter, photographer, and writer. Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, I moved to Florida ten years ago. I have a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) and an MFA from the Pratt Institute School of Art and Design. I have had a multi-career life as an Art Teacher (public school systems and colleges), a U.S. Government Service employee, a 34-year U.S. Army Active Reservist (6 active-duty deployments), and a U.S. Defense Contractor. I am now self-employed as a full-time artist.
