I trained in acting, technical theater, fine art, printmaking, and book arts. I produce somewhat fine art including drawings, prints, mixed media collages, box sculptures, and artists' books, which are also rather mixed.
The idea behind my way of working is that all our lives are made out of bits and pieces that come to our hand from various points of departure. ( And aside from this threepenny grad school manifesto, I have always made things from other things found around me and stuck other things I made to them. Because my people are Yankee packrats.)
