The origin of New Works is a humble one. It began in 1996 as a competition specifically for photographers of Puerto Rican heritage, encouraging them to create or complete an in-depth body of work “affirming cultural themes emanating from the Puerto Rican experience.” Its goal, was to nurture an artistic movement typically overlooked in American photography – a chance to write oneself into its traditionally anemic history…

Habitat for Artists Residency at WAAM
I was recently awarded a residency at the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum as part of their Habitat For Artists (HFA) program – a chance for artists to work with the public and experiment with a new idea or further develop a project.

Saratoga Station Art Takeover
