Born in 1952, I’ve spent most of my life identifying as an artist. My higher education consists of only 2 years of mainly self-directed art schools, so I consider myself just that: self-taught. I draw mostly from my imagination. I’ve made paintings and prints, and spent about 20 years making ceramics, but drawing has always been my main vehicle. My sense of humor shows itself in the work, while I am perhaps commenting on more serious personal and external happenings in our world today. Viewers absorb what they wish.
The bulk of my art career has been centered in Washington, DC (and partly in NYC and Malmo, Sweden), with exhibits also in several other US cities. My work is in museum collections, including the Hirshhorn Museum, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, National Gallery of Art, Yale University Art Gallery, Delaware Art Museum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Orlando Museum of Art, Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, the Katzen Arts Center and the Mobile Museum of Art.
