I design participatory public art systems that move beyond the production of objects.

I work across three integrated areas:

Public Art & Civic Projects
Design and delivery of participatory public artworks for parks, libraries, and urban spaces.

Community Engagement Systems
Development of structured participation frameworks that enable collective making at scale.

Ecological & Environmental Art
Projects focused on habitat, biodiversity, and environmental awareness through public collaboration.

Selected Collaborators

Include:

• NYC Parks
• Bronx Council on the Arts
• New York State Council on the Arts
• New York Public Library
• Community gardens and environmental organizations
• Healthcare and senior community programs
• Educational and cultural institutions

Teaching & Facilitation

Alongside my public art practice, I have extensive experience in arts education and community facilitation, including over 20 years teaching drawing at the School of Visual Arts in New York, and leading community-based creative programs in libraries, older adult centers, and public institutions.

I am currently expanding my public art practice in preparation for relocation to Melbourne, Australia in 2026, and am open to opportunities in:

• Public art commissions
• Community engagement projects
• Ecological and environmental art initiatives
• Consultancy for civic and cultural programs
