I teach art and design at Columbia College and am working on an assortment of mixed media projects. In addition, I run Pattern+Source, an online archive of multi-media surface design, and am an art editor for MUZZLE Magazine, an art and literary journal. This year I will be showing my artwork at the Chicago Artists' Coalition as a part of their 2011-12 gallery program, a.k.a., HATCH Projects.
