Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I have a few things coming up in May – one of them’s a solo series exhibition at the Abington Art Center. More on that, and some other venues, soon. On another note, I set up a feed aggregator for the Philly sites I have in my bookmark bars – if you’re [...]
From the studio archive
I was trained as a sculptor; my BFA and MFA are both in sculpture and up until about 2004 if you asked me what kind of work I made, I’d identify myself as a sculptor first and foremost, even though by that time I was already transitioning to a drawing practice. The drawings I make [...]
Work in Progress
If you came by open studios this year you probably saw this one in progress. I started this one earlier this summer and came back to it recently. I thought I’d share some documentation of the process. In the first few photos you can see the grid structure that’s embedded in the later versions of [...]
POST 2011/Staged Recap
My wife Andrea and I share studio space, and also run an informal gallery called Mount Airy Contemporary Artists Space (MACAS), both out of the carriage house behind our home.

Source Materials
Over the years I’ve collected random images that are tied somehow to my thinking on the work I do. Inspiration, research, corroboration. Thought I’d put up a random sampling.
2011: New site, new format
I’ve had about five different versions of this site going back to the late 90’s, and decided it was time for another refresh. I’ve never been quite happy with the previous iterations, and for this go-round decided on a straight up blog. All in all, 2010 was a pretty good year for me – the [...]
