I’ve been reviewed in Hyperallergic, the Washington Post, KunstForum International, Philadelphia Inquirer, Denver Art Review, and Yale Daily News. My work has appeared in the Lower East Side Review, Fresh Paint, Vellum, and Art Maze.

Q&A
Lectures with a focus on art history, as well as contemporary art, live demonstrations, and one-on-one dialogue with students as they work in class. Casual atmosphere infused with a subversive humor.
