Biography

I was born in 1954 in Newark, NJ. My parents were both artists and they encouraged me to draw, paint and make things from an early age. My obvious choice for college was art school, and I received a BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in 1976. After graduation, I joined Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop in NYC, a center for young printmakers from around the globe. I worked at the PMW for seven years, and then bought a press and set up my own studio on Union Square in Manhattan, where I worked until 1991. At that time, I left New York, and relocated my studio to a renovated factory building in Massachusetts. My etching studio is now in my home in Vermont.

My work has appeared in more than 275 national and international invitational and juried exhibitions, including The National Original Print Exhibition, London; The Woolrich Contemporary Art Fair, London; Print International 2021, Wales; New England on Paper: Contemporary Art in the Boston Athenaeum’s Print and Photographs Collection; the Rene Carcan International Prize for Printmaking, Brussels; and the Brooklyn Museum's 22nd National Print Exhibition. I have received awards from The Boston Printmakers, The Print Club of Albany and The Society of American Graphic Artists, including, in 2019, their award for outstanding achievement in printmaking.

My etchings are in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, The Boston Athenaeum, The New York Public Library, The Museum of the City of New York, and the University City Art Museum of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art, among others.
