I’m exhibiting work in the up coming Boston Fun-A-Day group show. 
My friend/co-worker Mary Lewey is also exhibiting a fantastic set of collages (many of which are sourced from vintage architecture magazines. You can see some of her work at http://dignifiedconversation.tumblr.com/

My drawing series aim to re-discover the North American landscape by investigating its diverse ecological and cultural landscapes covering topics ranging from soil profiles to stone fences, beavers to broken ax handles, coastal mapping to geology ID tags, point blankets to nurse logs, and colonial flags to other disruptive pattern material found in New England and the Far North of Canada.
