My career as an artist began in the 70s in Philadelphia. Continuing through 1983 I collaborated with many arts organizations in and around that area to create site-specific sculptures, festival environments and installations throughout the area. My work was exhibited in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, West Chester State College, The Institute of Contemporary Art and several Philadelphia galleries.

Returning to New York City in 1982, I continued exhibiting and completing commissions for various public agencies and private collections in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. The scope of projects extends from a hanging indoor work to an exterior campus field seven-ton mural. The outdoor works are made of steel and aluminum and painted in a wide variety of expressive colors.

I have regularly exhibited in group shows and have had solo exhibitions in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC. Reviews have appeared in The New York Times and New York Daily News. I was an artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem and was invited to participate in the 25th Anniversary Exhibition at El Museo del Barrio in New York City and the 30-year retrospective of the Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia.

A large and proud part of my artist career has been my experience as a teacher, lecturer and workshops instructor. The venues have included colleges, public schools, prisons, art and senior centers, and the curriculums have been taught bilingually as needed.

My inspiration and imagination are fueled by the natural world, music, reading, current events and travels. Thus, my artworks are a continuing development to create colorful and spirited expressions of ironies and contradictions which exist in life and nature. Through this process I strive to maintain a simultaneous harmony and tension within the pieces using a combination of materials. These materials, with a variety of objects, textures and chromatic shapes, convey the language of collage used to form many of my works. In the free standing sculptures I strive towards an open, anti-gravity approach that invites viewers to look through them as they move around.
