Artist Bio
I have been been a practicing artist for over 50 years. This sampling was produced in my Philadelphia studio in 2023-25., where I benefited from the interplay of cognition, sensation, materiality, faith, and imagery. I have most recently shown at: Honickman Center, 2024; The Shape of Tomorrow (2021), Parktown Place, Philadelphia; Incubations (2021), Scotts Mills Gallery; Ghost Stories, The Works Gallery (2019), NYC & Archer Law Gallery 35 (2019), Philadelphia, PA; and Related Visions, Provincetown Art Association and Museum (2018), Provincetown, MA, The Cotuit Center for the Arts (2016), Cotuit, MA; and Maryland Hall (2014), Annapolis, MD. I attended a three-week artist residency at Jentel in Banner, WY in 2024. I am an Emeritus Professor of Art Education at Kutztown University. I earned an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute and a Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University. My textbook, Experience Painting, is published by Davis Press. In 2012 I was named the National Art Education Higher Education, Educator of the Year.
