I'm a Teaching Artist with experience throughout the New York City area for over 10 years, primarily in the public school system. Trained in the NYC Blueprint for Teaching and Learning in Visual Arts, to develop age appropriate curriculum and implement instructional scaffolding. I have an extensive knowledge in a range of art forms, including drawing, painting, collage, printmaking, various 3-dimensional sculpture methods, video, and more. I'm also a working and exhibiting visual artist for 20 years, primarily in the greater New York City area. I have a passion for the arts, both individually and teaching to students. I'm a native New Yorker and graduated from School of Visual Arts for my BFA, and Hunter College for my MFA. I currently live in New Jersey with my wife and 2 wonderful daughters.
