I've been working on the underlying structure for this website, so you might notice some weirdness for a little while. Please let me know if you find any bugs.

May, 2016:

Recently, I've been focusing on making small mail art collages which you can see on my Mail Art Blog. These are related to my paintings in that they use photos and a grid-like structure, and often play with the idea of what a photograph is. Send me some mail art if you'd like to get one in your mailbox!

November, 2015:

I created two small Tree-related pieces for the Bristol Borough Center for the Arts "4x6 Postcard Art Show and Sale" benefit on December 12th, 2015.

I've spent the past few weeks rebuilding my website using the XML Art Viewer I created for Mike Geno's Website. It now features responsive design so it looks good on smaller screens too!

February, 2012:

I'll be showing Untitled (The Map Painting) at the Welcome Back: Highwire Artists and Alumni show at Highwire Gallery in Philadelphia from February 3-26, 2012. The show features past and present members of Highwire and should have some great artwork.

October 31 - December 17: Do you love bacon? I do, but I'm also vegetarian, so I can't eat it. But, that doesn't stop me from making bacon art for The Bacon Show at Mew Gallery at 906 Christian Street in South Philadelphia. The opening reception is November 7th, 5-9 pm. Featured artists include Ellen Cagnassola, Cho, Jacob Crose, Mike Geno, Sappy Moose Tree and John Wolfer. The phone number for Mew Gallery is 215-625-2424.
