Biography

Born in Portsmouth, VA, studied at University of Maryland, College Park, MD (BS) and School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL (MFA). The artist's work focuses on the manipulation of objects such as chairs or books and their subsequent transformation into witty and critical works of art. Recent sculptures configured from chairs have an anthropomorphic quality.
