I am a visual artist and my creative journey has been enriched by relocating to Shanghai a few years ago with an exploration of it's architecture and urban landscape. The large, visually textured variances and rapid social changes here have me considering how people navigate life in such a state of flux.

My portfolio encompasses a diverse range of mediums, including painting, drawing and printmaking and my works have found places in public art collections, including the Tacoma Art Museum, the New York Public Library, and The China National Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, China. My pieces have been featured in exhibitions across the US, including at the International Print Center New York, the Print Center, Philadelphia, SAM Gallery at Seattle Art Museum, the Austin Museum of Art and the Maryhill Museum of Art.

I recently became reaquainted with the Shanghai Peninsula Print Art Studio and am now able to print my larger linoleum block prints there. Here is one I carved a few years ago and just printed recently. This series of prints captures imagery from the basic, block style apartments that most of the middle class occupied until recently and are still found around the city. The plain exterior style of these buildings gives way to how the residents have modified them to serve their needs, creating highly textured visual appearances.
