Introduction I am a professor, writer, and visual artist. I currently teach in the Illustration department at the Rhode Island School of Design. I wrote "Ask the Art Prof", an advice column for visual artists which was featured in the Huffington Post from 2013-2015. Ask the Art Prof is now featured on as a weekly live video broadcast on my Facebook page.In the past I have taught in RISD Foundation Studies, the RISD Printmaking department, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, at Wellesley College, and at the Lesley University College of Art and Design. For four years I was the Director of the Jewett Gallery. My studio practice explores isolation and mental illness through drawing, printmaking, and sculpture. I have exhibited my work at the International Print Center New York, Bromfield Gallery, the Danforth Museum of Art, the Currier Museum of Art, the RISD Museum of Art, and the Davis Museum and Cultural Center. I have received grants from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation and the Puffin Foundation.
