Bio

I received my MFA from Columbia University. I currently teach Painting at Columbia and Drawing at Pratt Institute.

In my classes I emphasize two things: creating a new way of seeing, and practicing accuracy in what you see. We move through exercises that develop creativity and work through the fundamental technical components of making a drawing or a painting. Each class builds upon the tools we've developed from the last so students come away with a comprehensive understanding of art...

I received my MFA from Columbia University. I currently teach Painting at Columbia and Drawing at Pratt Institute.

In my classes I emphasize two things: creating a new way of seeing, and practicing accuracy in what you see. We move through exercises that develop creativity and work through the fundamental technical components of making a drawing or a painting. Each class builds upon the tools we've developed from the last so students come away with a comprehensive understanding of art making, rather than a step-by-step formula. We work together to not only increase technical proficiency and achieve specific goals, but to develop the confidence to make art anywhere the mood strikes, whether it be painting at your kitchen table or sketching in a coffee shop or a hotel balcony.

Drawing

I'm currently based in Brooklyn, where I maintain an active studio and painting practice. In New York, as an art instructor I teach drawing, color theory, and painting as a guest lecturer at Pratt Institute and UCLA, to professors looking to expand their knowledge base at NYU and Yale; former affiliates of The Cloisters; and small-scale private lessons at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, and, of course, my favorite way to teach: one-on-one private lessons. I've recently completed the Advanced Painting Intensive at Columbia University and have exhibited in New York, Germany, Miami, Toronto, and Montreal and was awarded residencies at the Centre Pompadour (France); Emerson Landing, Eastside International, Starry Night (USA); and CanSerrat (Spain). Publications featuring my work include: Maake Magazine, ArtMaze Magazine, Hiss Magazine, Brooklyn Magazine, Whitehot Magazine, NYC-ARTS, Posture Magazine, Flavorwire, Lost at E-Minor, Lip Magazine, Tjen Folket, and the Globe and Mail. My most recent solo exhibition was in the spring of 2018 at Brethren Gallery in New York.

I currently teach painting at Columbia University and drawing at Pratt Institute in New York where I maintain an active studio practice. Recently, I've been interested in adapting these courses to private lessons, providing a comprehensive lesson plan that is accessible to students who are interested in beginning or refining their art practice. Most of my student work in unrelated fields; it's a great joy to help spark or reignite their interest in painting and drawing.
