Part of my work ethos was learning the whole art business from the top down and bottom up. This lead me to curating shows and positions as director of the Beacon Artist Union and Skylight Gallery NYC in Chelsea and the co-creator of NY Meets Berlin which created a decade of reciprocal artist dialogs. I also created the “Freedom & Art” Project which brought together over 70 Mirca Group artists from 27 different countries together in a fundraiser book for Amnesty International with traveling exhibitions in NYC, Beacon, Newburgh, Sweden, South Africa and Germany. My curation in Berlin, Germany in June of 2018 garnered positive reviews by Barbara Hopp of Feuilletonscouts and pick of the week in Art Life Berlin. My own artworks have graced galleries, universities, museums, and public spaces both nationally and internationally. Notable venues include the American Embassy in Turkey, the permanent collection of the University Art Museum at SW Minnesota State, The Dorsky Museum SUNY, The Tabernacle MoMA Wales, The New Museum Ideas City Festival Arts Brookfield, The Children's Hospitals in Cincinnati and Boston, the Solarium on RCCL's Ship "Harmony of the Seas," the Lobby of the Marriott Waikiki, The Whitney Los Gatos, and Tria Gallery in NYC. For a comprehensive list of exhibitions, please refer to my Exhibitions page. I had the honor of being a featured artist in the Ty Marshall film, "NEW SCHOOL: A Hudson Valley Artists Profile," which celebrated the profiles of 13 of the most prominent artists from the region.In 2014 I was awarded the Connecticut Sea Grant- a partnership between the University of Connecticut and the nation’s primary ocean agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for my Sea Foam Sculptural Drawings.
