 2006-2008  I have been working on a mural at the Empire State Building with Urban Studio. The mural is based on new and old New York. Using maps and a layered approach, a colorful interpretation of the city and boroughs can be viewed on the second floor by the NY SkyRide. The opening reception will be held on March 11th 2008.

2007 I worked with balloon sculptor Jason Hackenwerth in his studio in Queens. Jason's work has been shown nationally and internationally. Urban Studio worked with Hackenwerth in California for the Coachella Music and Art festival.  We performed in the sculptures to the music on stage with the bands and in the audience. 
 
2006-2007 I worked for the Central Park Conservancy restoring the tile ceiling at the Bethesda Terrace as well as sculptures throughout the park.

2005-2006  Artist Ursula Von Rydingsvard hired me as an artist assistant in her studio. It allowed me to have a hands-on learning experience with a successful well known artist. Ursula's work, unique large abstract wood sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museums world wide.
