Creating is part of my balance. All of my experience informs my creativity. Through the differences and similarities of each medium or trade I have worked in I have been able to extract what is valuable to my work as an artist.
In 1996 I graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I recieved a B.F.A. with a concentration in photography and a minor in metal sculpture. Since then I have worked as a house painter, sign fabricator, steel fabricator, carpenter and as an artist's assistant. The culmination of all this varied experience has resulted in opening my own business, Steelhead Studios. I started working for myself in the year 2000 and since then have worked on a lot of interesting commissions.
