Bio

A Statement
My aim is to create sculptures and art objects that feel both contemporary and universal. Often I play with opposites: abstract/representational, rustic/refined, whimsical/thoughtful. Some of my sensibilities (in no particular order): beauty, contemplativeness, societal awareness, humor.
 
Education
Bachelor of Arts, Yale U., New Haven CT (concentration in the humanities)
