Born in Vancouver, BC in 1972, I hold an MFA from Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ) and a BFA from the University of Victoria (Victoria, BC). My work has been included in numerous group and solo exhibitions across north America and abroad, most notably at Zaum Projects (Lisbon, Portugal); Pentimenti Gallery (Philadelphia, PA); The Hogar Collection (Brooklyn, NY); The Hunterdon Museum of Art (Clinton, NJ); The Charleston Heights Arts Center (Las Vegas, NV); Deluge Contemporary Art (Victoria, BC); Mercer Union (Toronto, ON); The Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (Spokane, WA); and The Kirkland Art Center (Seattle, WA). I have been the recipient of two project awards from the Canada Council for the Arts (2005,2007); two GAP grants from Artist Trust (2007, 2010); and was recently awarded the Larry Sommers Memorial Fellowship from Seattle Print Arts (2011). My work is featured in books including: The Anthology of Art: in Theory and Dialogue, edited by Jochen Gerz, and Carte Blanche, Vol. 2 - Painting, a survey of the current state of Canadian painting. I have taught courses at Pratt Institute (New York, NY), Brooklyn College (Brooklyn, NY) and am currently head of painting at Washington State University (Pullman, WA).
