EDUCATION

MFA, Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, California

painting and design

PhD, New York University, New York,

Interdisciplinary Program: creative art, science, contemporary art history

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.
