Bio/CV

I studied graphic design at the Colorado Institute of Art. In 2000 I received a BFA from Metropolitan State College of Denver. During that time I worked as an area rug designer at the Denver Design Center and exhibited my paintings and sculptures throughout the Denver area. In 2004 I received an MFA from the University of Connecticut. At UConn I produced a CD of sound works called Soundsketches: A Compilation of Sound for the Experiencer and published Accrete: A Compilation of Notes, Diagrams, Drawings, and Journal Entries, a catalog of my working process on file at The Museum of Modern Art Library, NY. For the next five years I worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. After returning to Colorado in 2012 I became a member of Pirate Contemporary Art in Lakewood and teach drawing and painting at Metropolitan State University of Denver.
