He has exhibited at the Houghton House Gallery, Geneva, NY, the Munson-Williams-Proctor Museum, Utica, NY, SUNY Institute of Technology, Utica, NY and the Schweinfurth Museum, Auburn, NY. His work is in the permanent collections of Utica College and the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute.
The exhibit “Structures” is based on the structures of handwriting and those of the human body through x-rays, combined with the elements of language.
The Cogar Gallery is open to the public free of charge Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when the College is open.
