my work
We live our lives constantly fluctuating between states of being. We are continually responding–and in that response we exist. The character of that response determines our state of existence. My work evolves from a meditation on some of those responses and states.
myself
I am a printmaker and book artist living in Philadelphia PA. My imagery is often computer generated and then realized in the printmaking process. I gravitate towards mediums and formats that support narrative. Recently I have been exploring the narrative potential of video in my work.

My work is in numerous public collections such as the Cleveland Institute of Art, Walker Art Center and The Special Collections Library and Yale University. Recent shows include Production, Not Production: Offset Printed Artists’ Books, at The Center for Book Arts, NY and When Photography and Printmaking Collide, Philadelphia Free Library.

I have been the Master Printer in the Borowsky Center for Publication Arts, at The University of the Arts for over 18 years. There I have worked with countless artists to produce artists’ books and offset lithography prints. I am also an Associate Professor at The University of the Arts where I teach a variety of printmaking and book arts classes in the graduate and undergraduate programs.
