Biography
I have lived and created in Brooklyn, NY for many years.
I studied art at the New School in NYC, then earned my MFA in sculpture from Pratt Institute.
Some years later I began teaching art to both emotionally disturbed and visually impaired children at the New York Institute for Special Education.
I earned my MA in Art Therapy at NYU, to enhance that work.
Since leaving the school I have begun working with older adults with Alzheimer's and other dementias.
I have exhibited work in NYC and in Peekskill,NY.
Currently I am creating outdoor sculptures as well as projects such as pot racks and "wrought iron" signs. I recently created an eternal light.
