BFA, Philadelphia College of Art
; MFA, Tyler School of Art, and taught in various capacities at these colleges before moving to Ohio to teach at Columbus College of Art & Design

1982-1991
Returned to NYC and became involved in Printmaking and was exposed to teachings of master printer, then working at Hunter College, Prawat Laucheron. I also began working in the field of contract printing, edition printing as I acquired skills, and very soon thereafter established March Press on the Brooklyn Waterfront, which has steadily supplied intensive collaborative services to artists and publishers since 1985

1992-1994
Joined the Society of American Graphic Artists and the Print Consortium. this enabled me to more widely exhibit my own work and broaden my professional affiliations to include the Educational Alliance and the Old Print Shop.

1995-2003
My interests now include working with specific populations in therapeutic settings where I provide creative arts programs, substance abuse counseling, and the psychotherapeutic group activity. I have also completed a course of study in Substance Abuse Counseling at the New School in 1999.
