Artist Bio
I’ve spent years trying to figure out who I am as an artist. In this search, I have moved all over the United States, seeking out forms and techniques - both old and new - as a means to study art. Initially, when I was younger, I pursued a classical education in New England as I had hoped to join the vanguard of a new figurative movement in art. I spent years drawing and sculpting from life, studying anatomy, and casting the human form. While I still love it – and consider it my home – I came to realize there was an absence for me in that singular pursuit. After some time and a few life-changing events, I moved to Chicago to pursue graduate studies in sculpture and sound art. After graduation and teaching at SAIC for a few years, I was awarded a tenure-track position at Central Michigan University, where I am now an Associate Professor. I still make sound sculpture, but these days I'm becoming interested in Silence as a phenomenon in and of itself.
