I am a community- and environmentally- focused public artist with more than 24 years of experience facilitating arts engagement, cultural planning, public art, and placemaking projects in Meadville, Pennsylvania and the surrounding region. I work in direct response to invitations from community partners/clients, bringing stakeholders and relevant experts together in the design and implementation of local and regional public art that enlivens, revitalizes, and beautifies public spaces. My projects are designed to increase local/regional awareness of social and environmental issues, foster dialogue and inclusion, and promote healing and community engagement. My work is generally undertaken under the umbrella of the Art & Environment Initiative, a program I founded and have directed since 1997. You can learn more about A&EI here.
