My work is directly connected to ideas and often addresses issues of social, political, and cultural import. As an artist, I find the most challenging forms and concepts at the intersection of the visual and the verbal. I delight in communicating insights with humor, word-play, and not just a little irony.

In addition to drawings and sculpture, my work also includes installations and performances. Media include: wood, assemblage, metals, plastics, concrete, clay, and words. Exhibited widely since the mid 1970’s in museums, galleries, and alternative spaces; the work is also included in a number of public and private collections.
