Research Interests
I am an interdisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, installation, video and performance. My subject matter is both personal and political, and centers on family, humor, figuration and representation. Many of my projects use humor and performance to subvert and challenge traditions within Western art.
Teaching Interests
I am interested in a multi-diciplineary approach to teaching Studio Art.
