Bio

While working on an ambulance in Connecticut, I began the self-published zine Buck in the Field, which was included in the exhibit "Alt.Youth Media" at the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City in 1996. A Fulbright Scholarship gave me the opportunity to study at the Academy Of Fine Arts in Krakow, Poland. I became the studio manager of the Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis after receiving an MFA from the University of Minnesota. At Highpoint, I organized and curated exhibits of contemporary Pakistani, Japanese and Polish printmaking. I currently live in Tokyo, Japan.

I have exhibited internationally, including the U.S., Japan, Belgium, Poland, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
