Curator, Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation, NYC, 2002.
Assembled an exhibition called "Visual/Verbal/Tactile: A Book Art Show".
Lecturer, SUNY Farmingdale, Institute for Learning & Retirement, 1995 - 1999.
Developed and taught succession of art workshops: 'Geometry & Art', 'The Belated Artist in Me', 'Learning How to Learn to Draw', 'Seeing Art with An Artist's X-Ray Eye'.
Creator, 'Geometry Through Art' Curriculum Concept, 1986.
Created a unique artist-in-residency interdisciplinary program that integrated art and mathematics. It contained workshop and resource materials for both teachers and students. Upon my retirement from full-time teaching, I presented these materials in many school districts, teacher centers and public libraries throughout New York State. Because of the efficacy of my materials, I am annually called upon to judge the New York City Math Fair that is held at Pace University. I've also been invited to teach workshops for the Math Department at John Jay College for Criminal Justice, the Goudreau Math Museum, and SUNY at Old Westbury.
Founder, Euphemisms Publishing, 1984.
Founded small press publishing company to create a catalog of artist's books. Ufemisms is the latest incarnation of this effort.
