CAREER HIGHLIGHTS:

​

Career highlights include exhibiting in the 'First European Outsider Art Fair Osterreichische Nationalbibeliothek' Vienna, Austria in 2008 as an artist with The Living Museum, 'NYC Outsider Art Fair' in 2018 via Andrew Edlin Gallery, my first Solo Exhibition 'Escaping Childhood' with Institute of Mental Health, City Arts Nottingham, UK in 2021 and showing with Fountain House Gallery in 'NYC Outsider Arts Fair' in 2022 and 2023.

​

FOUNTAIN HOUSE GALLERY EXHIBITIONS:

​

Fountain House Gallery has six art exhibits a year, curated by well known outside curators. Since I joined Fountain House Gallery in 2015, I have exhibited in almost every single show except a handful. You just can't dance to every song.

​

Highlight Exhibitions with Fountain House Gallery have included Superfine Art Fair in 2022, The NYC Outsider Arts Fair in 2022 and 2023, Lead Image/Postcard in three group exhibitions: 'Futures' 2022,  'Fountain House Gallery 20th Anniversary Show' 2020, 'The Written Word' 2017 and showing two twelve foot paintings in 'Water' 2021 and 'Heavy Sauce' 2019.

​

I also participated in three collaborations with other organizations in conjunction with Fountain House Gallery. The first with MoMA Education Building in 'MIXTAPE' Exhibit at MoMA 2018, the second with American Folk Art Museum in 'A Kingdom In Pieces' 2019 Exhibit at Citigroup Building in Long Island City, NY and the third with 'The Columbia WHO Center for Global Mental Health' in 2021. In 2023 my artwork was prominently featured in YELL Installation at Herald Square Plaza, NYC celebrating Fountain House's 75th Anniversary.

I have spoken about my artwork at several group exhibitions, as well as outside panels and events representing the artists at Fountain House Gallery.
