Lately I’ve been thinking about the many complexities of public art; how the creation of public art differs from private studio practice; and how many people don’t realize there’s any distinction between gallery work versus public art. Isn’t art just art, whether it’s exhibited in a gallery or the lobby of City Hall?

Healthcare facilities have become some of my favorite partners in recent years. I’m a strong believer in the benefits of good art on health, so it’s very edifying to create work for environments wholly dedicated to healing.
