Statement
As an interdisciplinary artist, I create artwork using printmaking, drawing, installation, and any combination thereof. Grounded in traditions of performance walking, I use trekking to investigate ritual and rhythm that test my physical and psychic boundaries. I utilize tools such as GPS tracking, audio recording, and photography to record my treks and pose questions of wandering, displacement, routes, and territory. The concept is inspired by my practices of long-distance running, printmaking, encountering nature, and experiencing raw solitude.

My work has been reviewed in Art in America, The New York Times, The L.A. Times, Philadelphia Inquirer, Kansas City Star and many others. In addition my artwork appeared in several books and journals including Leonardo, M.I.T. Press, Downtown Brooklyn, L.I.U.

In 2010 I founded Stonetrigger Press in Abiquiu, NM. Located in the high desert, I built by hand a large studio out of stone, mud, wood and tin. Each year I spend 3 uninterrupted months deeply engaged in my practices–art, running, mountaineering.

I received an M.A. and M.F.A. from University of Iowa in printmaking and multi-media.I also have an M.S. in Exercise Science from LIU-Brooklyn.
