I was born in the New York City area, USA. I have been exhibiting professionally since my first museum shows at DeCordova Museum, Lincoln, Ma., and Storm King Art Center, N.Y.,USA, back in the 1970s .I make something everyday. Sometimes it is sculpture, sometimes paintings, sometimes photos. To me it is all about how light interacts with objects. While at Syracuse in art school in the early 1970's, I had the good fortune to study with the NYC painters Allan de Archangelo and Charles Hinman. While working with them I decided that I would always have an art studio to work in. Also right after graduating from Syracuse I had the good fortune to work as Exhibition Installer at the Everson Museum working under James Harithas and David Ross. I built the island for Ira Schneider's classic video piece, Manhattan is an Island. I also did a lot of work on Yoko Ono's This is not Here exhibition. Yea I had joints a couple of times with John Lennon on the loading dock. Very interesting guy to talk with. I got the feeling he was always thinking about EXACTLY what he wanted to say. In the early 1980's I became a professor of art at the University of Maine, Farmington. While teaching I designed the University Art Museum which was reviewed as Maine's finest exhibition space by the Maine Times. In the early 1990's I moved to Seattle where my works were represented by both the Seattle And Portland Art Museums. In 1991 a painting was also selected by the artists N. Spero and L. Golub for inclusion in th Northwest Annual show. My paintings were also in some high end Seattle art collections. In 1992 I was also selected as one of two thousand USA artists by Columbia University- Research Center for Arts and Culture- to study how we managed to keep supporting our work. In 1992 I also received a Gottlieb Foundation Emergency grant as regards an accident I had and this also allowed me to keep painting. Jumping ahead a bit, I moved to Mexico full time in 1997. I was professor of art at Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende from 1998 to 2002. I exhibited each year at the Pergola Gallery, Instituto Allende, and also designed the Jennifer Hass Folk Art Museum. It was one of the areas first solar orientated structures and is now also off grid with solar panels. I also had an exhibition at the Museo de la Ciudad, Queretaro titled 20 Years of Making Art. It was in the early 2000's that I bought my first digital camera.
