1997-2000

Edinboro University, Edinboro, PA, USA

Between 1997 and 2000 I attended Edinboro University to receive an MFA in painting. The abstract figures morphed into cells and large organic forms tied or draped over vine like elements. These paintings became larger and larger, until they were 20 m long paintings circling the perimeter of rooms as installations.
