A graduate of Mercer County Community College and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, LANK seeks to create impactful community-led public art as the Public Project Manager for Artworks Trenton. His anthropological research as a graduate student at Monmouth University focuses on what we can learn about a population through visual art and discovering how a community can be best served through participatory and collaborative artmaking.
