My photography is included in the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh's Summer Variety: Online Store, juried by Lexi Bishop
I am one of twelve international artists to be selected for Cow House Studio and Photo Ireland's How to Flatten a Mountain Residency in June 2020
I am one of six international artists to be selected for Ayatana Artist Research Program's Biophilia Residency taking place this August in Ottawa/Gatineau
I am now a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. Founded in 1910, AAP has spent over 100 years as a driving force in Pittsburgh's dynamic cultural life. Its mission today, as it was in 1910, is to provide a platform for visual artists to present their work.
One of my photographs will be going home with babies born in Pittsburgh during the month of November (2015) as part of the Start with Art project created by Matthew Conboy and funded by the Crusade for Art Grant. For more information http://www.startwithart.org
