ABOUT ME

"He's consistent." is the most recent response my close friend gave when asked to describe me as briefly and directly as possible. As an artist, educator, curator, and writer, I have found through other people that I could be considered relatively extroverted, talkative but articulate, empathetic, motivated, and deeply interested in the lives of other people and their cultural landscape.

Interests

I am a professional painter, writer, art teacher, and curator with experience in gallery management, world travel, slam poetry, painting, sculpture, printmaking, developmental theory, and rocking out. I currently live in a renovated mill live/work studio in Providence Rhode Island and work at the local art supply store. I enjoy good food, good conversation, good vinyl and live music. I attend concerts regularly and listen to everything from Robert Johnson to Black Moth Super Rainbow, from Madlib to Dystopia, from Pete Seeger to Ratatat.
