Jared's work focuses on mixed media painting, drawing, photography. and aspects of video. He has attended Artist in Residency programs in Greece, Costa Rica and Southern California as well as other workshops around the country that have focused on his own work through research and implementation of a variety of projects.


While in graduate school at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Jared focused his thesis work on community-based arts. Here he designed a community project that brings the members of Lower Allston, Massachusetts and Allston Village together to revitalize a footbridge that connects the neighborhoods. Like his artwork, his teaching is based on building a community through experiential, hands-on learning that takes place in and out of the classroom.
