EDUCATION
MFA, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, California
painting and design
Ph.D. New York University, New York,

SPECIALIZATION
Bridging the connections between mathematics and art. Natural forms have the beauty of a mathematical formal order. They are patterns, structures
and relationships. These can be seen in my paintings, sculptures, drawings and
publications.
