Faculty Profile

It was through drawing that I first experienced the transformative nature of the creative process, and it is truly a privilege to share this experience with the students at Cornell. My students continually impress me with their discipline, enthusiasm, and intellect. My challenge as a professor is to structure coursework that compels students to continually examine the related nature of process, form, concept, expression, and meaning, to literally draw the connection between eye, hand, and mind.
