Message in a Bottle

My work is a re-engagement of appropriated text and images from consumer products, advertising and media. By reframing these messages—often with humor—I attempt to reveal the absurdity and unnatural expectations that society has come to accept as commonplace. Solo exhibitions include the 2019 SPRING/BREAK Art Show, Bard Graduate Center Library, Ground Floor Gallery and Chashama. Select group exhibitions include Untitled Space, DUMBO Arts Festival and Trestle Gallery. My artwork has received coverage in ARTnews, Artnet News, Hyperallergic, Gothamist, Brooklyn Magazine, Gallery Gurls and The Believer Magazine, among others.
