For the past several years, my work has centered around areas that I personally find
frightening —disease, violence, hatred, anti-Semitism, child abuse, psychiatric drugs for
children, racial and social inequality, the Holocaust, 9/11 and immigration. I look at all of
these issues as particular concerns that spiral into the political and general social realm. My
work is very process oriented and uses simple materials to create an emotional and
immediate impact. I've created installations using combinations of images on paper and
other materials. I've explored the subjects of contemporary immigration and the Holocaust
through groups of altered books, combining images and mixed media into sculptural objects.
I studied art (primarily painting, drawing and printmaking) in college and graduate school. I'm
a self-taught photographer and work as an art teacher in an urban school district in New
Jersey.
