Bugs in Space, Plasmid 60"x40"
|
BiographyI was born and grew up in New York City. I attended Boston University as a painting major for undergraduate and graduate school. While in Boston I developed a company that did scientific illustration and photography used by scientists for publication and presentation of their work. My company did illustration for departments ranging from genetics to physics at Harvard University, M.I.T., Boston University and many biotechnology companies.
I have shown in many different galleries, universities, and museums in group and solo exhibits. I have received several commissions from the Art in Public Places Program of the State of Colorado. These include a three-part painting in the department of Radiological Sciences at Colorado State University and a large diptych painting and five monotypes are in the main lobby of the Health Sciences Library at the Anschutz Medical Campus. I have recently shown at The Center for Visual Arts of Metropolitan State College in Denver Colorado, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Fort Collins, Colorado, Mizel Center for Arts and Culture in Denver, Colorado, The Macky Gallery in Boulder, Colorado, Naropa University and Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I am currently a member of SPARK Gallery in Denver, Colorado. |
