The Faraway Nearby - posterI have experience filming digital video, editing in Adobe Premiere, and animating in Flash and After Effects.

My current project is Beyond the Notes (beyondthenotes.org), a multimedia guide to music and art. I've produced 30+ videos for this website and have written numerous pages exploring art historical contexts for works by artists Thomas Cole, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Burchfield, Michelangelo, and Hiroshige, and musical compositions that I created inspired by the artworks. The site was launched in July 2011. The project was funded in part by an Entrepreneurial Grant from the Entrepreneurial Musicianship Department at New England Conservatory (NEC).

In 2010, I created a 10-minute multimedia video and music piece, The Faraway Nearby: Georgia O'Keeffe and the New Mexico Landscape (watch the video), which I filmed on location in New Mexico in June 2010 and completed editing in August. The piece received its premiere screening with a live musical performance of the score in November 2010. This project was funded in part by another Entrepreneurial Grant from NEC. Visit thefaraway.org to learn more.

I also work for the Liberal Arts Department at New England Conservatory filming and editing short promotional videos targeted towards prospective students. Completed videos are viewable on the Liberal Arts Department website.


I've created music videos for my own music, and for others', just for fun. Here's an example...
