He has taught at Queens College, the New School for Social Research and the New York Studio School.

April 1–May 4, 2008
We are pleased to once again present the most popular traveling exhibition organized by the University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Central to the exhibition's concept is the challenge of creating works on a small scale, while maintaining integrity and control of sculptural elements. Some works are conceptual, some reflect the artist's cultural heritage, and others are universal in expression. The traveling exhibition includes 82 works of amazingly diverse media and subject by artists from all over the world. Closing reception Sunday, May 4th, 4-5:30 pm.
