Brief Bio

I was born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. After college in Montreal and Chicago, a trip to India and Nepal and some time in Seattle, I returned to New York. I subsequently took a series of continuing education classes at the School of Visual Arts, including metalworking, stone carving and figure sculpture. I have continued to experiment with new media through classes in woodworking, glassblowing and ceramics in Brooklyn and Queens. My other creative interests include computer programming and computer art, cooking and furniture design.
