Shedding Light will come to life in December 2009. In the darkest month of the year, it's cold, there might be snow on the ground. Imagine a long, wooden barn sitting alone in a vast field. Each night as the sun goes down, the lights come on and shine out onto the landscape like a lantern.

Design and the built environment are rich sources for investigations in everything I do. I am an architectural designer and public artist and I also teach young students about design through school workshops as the Western MA Program Coordinator for Learning By Design.
Past public art projects (in collaboration with my amazing friend Gretchen Schneider) include Sea The City (Boston, 2003), Look Up (Easthampton, 2004), Greetings From MY City (various cities, 2005 - present).
