Origin Story
Born in Worcester in 1977, I grew up in central Massachusetts largely ignorant of visual art until a trip to the Worcester Art Museum at age 15 spawned what would be a life-long passion. I've never received formal training but have been on a continuous journey of learning and exploring through my painting.
Brooklyn, New York - 2002-2008
During my first stretch living in New York, I organized many informal art shows in restaurants, bars, and theaters for myself and later for a group of Greenpoint artists I organized: Meeker Avenue Artists.
Tucson, Arizona - 2010-2014
After a brief time in the Army, I used the GI Bill to get a Bachelor's in Art History from the University of Arizona. During this time I participated in group shows at Contreras Gallery, Raices Taller, and Solar Culture Gallery. The Contreras Gallery offered me my first solo show "Fresh Eyes on the Old Town".
Brooklyn, New York - 2014-2016
After graduating from the U of A, I moved back to Greenpoint and had the pleasure of working as a Gallery Guide for the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum. It was there that I really developed a love of helping people navigate the often arcane world of modern and contemporary art.
Worcester, Massachusetts - 2016- Present
Coming full circle back to Worcester has been an excellent experience. I was amazed at the development of the art scene, and quickly became involved, participating in group shows at ArtsWorcester, The Sprinkler Factory, and the White Room. Going forward I'll do what I can to add to the growth of art and culture in the city, through my own work and helping others where I can.
