I was trained in Studio/Visual Art at SUNY Cortland, concentrating in Sculpture and Painting. I initially started as an oil painter and transitioned more towards sculpture. Most of my sculpture work consisted of cast iron, which I and my now fiance poured ourselves. We both helped to create the iron furnace now in use within the SUNY Cortland sculpture department (last I knew ^_^). I have exhibited many times within galleries in the Southern Tier and look forward to picking up my work again next year. This year I focused solely on teaching, and couldn't be happier, planning a great year next year!
