I've been making artwork for many different spaces over my fifteen year career. The
audience has also been wide ranging.

I’ve made a large permanent interactive mural for the MBTA World Trade Center Station in South Boston. The audience in this station is constantly changing and is trying to navigate a public transit system. The artwork was made specifically for their actions and in their context. This public art is housed inside the transit station at the mezzanine level. My previous collaborator, Marybeth Mungovan, worked with me to create this 68 foot lenticular mural. Under the supervision of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority(MBTA) we completed this permanent $90,000 dollar public art project under two years.

I've made a smaller series of drawings and watercolors that were to be shown inlibraries and University Galleries. The content of the artwork was about cigarette litter and my collaboration with a community of smokers that litter on public streets. This artwork was made for them. To inform or educate the smoker about the impact their habit has on an individual within thegreater society. I believe my artwork can carry a positive message concerning social issues confronting our modern society and still be attractive within its basic visual components.
