A Collection of Objects






I had the chance to curate a small undergrad sculpture show. Thank you to all the students that participated!

A Collection of Objects:

This seemingly random collection of objects has one consistent thread among them: I asked each student to share with me a work that went beyond “just a project.” Each object is a symbolic artifact that represents the student as an artist and gives the viewer a glimpse into their personality and thought process. These artifacts are an extension of who their makers are as a person. From interests in what it means to be a woman and issues pertaining to sexual identity, to love for horror, written text and everything in between. What drives an artist to create the work they make is always of interest and fascination.

My Little Science Experiment


I played mad scientist recently to see if I could get grass to grow in upholstery foam. As you can see...it actually worked! Expect future works utilizing this scientific marvel!

A look to the future maybe?

Portable Nesting Egg (Model)


This is a model I made for a portable environment I plan to create. This model is currently being displayed in an international touring exhibit of miniatures. It was displayed in the Commons Gallery in Towson, MD and is now on its way to Taiwan. After that the show will travel to the University of Delaware back in the states. The show will end back in Towson at the Asian Arts Gallery on Towson University's campus.
