I am a printmaker, painter, and sculptor, that lives and works in Portland, Maine. My art is stylistically rooted in expressionism and surrealism, and both playful and serious. My most important work to date is the Urban Rattle sculpture on the High Line park in Chelsea, New York. Urban Rattle, located in the courtyard in the back of Ten23, is the only permanent artwork installed along the High Line Park. I have since installed large public Urban Rattle sculptures in Lewiston and Portland, Maine. My imagery is largely influenced from the mill-working communities I grew up around. The energy and culture of these communities and the values of church, family, and work have infused my artwork and are the foundation of my imagery and symbols. My work is represented in numerous collections, including those of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Museum of Modern Art, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; New York Public Library, NY; Brooklyn Museum, NY; Library of Congress, Washington, DC; and the Portland Museum of Art, ME.
