About
My work investigates interpersonal relationships, and the languages we create in order to communicate. Combining drawing, text and performance, I interpret the visual, verbal and felt senses that allow us to understand emotional experiences. My multi-disciplinary projects concern memory and the poetics of the fragment, and incorporate hand-written stream of consciousness and exaggerated contrasts of light and shadow.
After graduating from Bard College with degrees in Art History and Latin American Iberian Studies, I moved home to my native Long Island to save money, and after a year and a half of bartending and waiting tables I bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona. In the six years I lived there, I fronted an all-male ukulele band, danced on the stage of Palau de la Musica Catalana, was a regular guest on two major talk-radio programs, and received my Masters degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona.
I returned to New York in 2012. I fuse my own art practice with community building and process-based learning. I am currently an Artist in Residence with ArtWorks, the Naomi Cohain Foundation, and am co-founder of Diglosis, a collaborative art work-study program for local teens. When not making things alone or with NYC youth, I am likely performing with the femme fatale rock performance collective HUFF THIS! .
