A native New Yorker and self-taught artist, I’ve been exhibiting my work since the mid-1970’s.  At that time, I was producing collages which exploited the homo-erotic undertone in mass market magazine ads.  These were included in the seminal “It’s a Gender Show” at Group Material, (NYC, 1981).

In 1980 I took up 35mm photography as a means of recording the visual delights and peculiarities of the city and of my daily life, including the friends who became my first models.  Everything presented here has grown from that, and quite beyond the borders of Manhattan.

My artistic parents came from the theater - Charles Ludlam and Jerzy Grotowski (strange bedfellows, to be sure).  I found my mentor in the artist Tommy Lanigan Schmidt, and there have been several essential muses, some of whom are depicted on this website.

My photography has been shown in such venues as the National Arts Club (NYC), the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, the Menschel Photography Gallery ay Syracuse University, the Leslie/Lohman Gallery (NYC), ClampArt (NYC), and Art Resources Transfer (NYC).  It has been published in several catalogs, the Tom of Finland Foundation’s Erotic Art Gallery, The James White Review, and Self Exposure, the Male Nude Self Portrait.
