Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
I am a mixed media artist who lives and works in Jersey City, New Jersey. Often, the ground on which I work is usually wax or things embedded in wax. My mixed media work juxtaposes several materials on one picture plane which reference the idea of an internal/external as well as structure vs.gesture. A physical presence is apparent in my work with the worked, punctured surfaces of my drawings and the linear markmaking either with thread or by an unsteady ink rendering. My work speaks to the outside forces that define our personal identities as well as the inner struggles to understand and then to overcome them. Through my use of pattern, I reflect upon human individuality while also offering a tactile visual experience with my materials. It is my hope that through the tangible an ethereal space is experienced and felt instead of just seen.
