About

BACKGROUND

I am originally from Newark, New Jersey. I attended Upsala College, a small Liberal Arts College in East Orange, New Jersey where I majored in Art and minored in Philosophy. After graduating I moved around a bit- first to San Francisco then New Mexico- then back to New Jersey- then Europe... back to New Jersey and then to West Texas- until I decided to go to graduate school. 

I attended graduate school at A&M University in Commerce, Texas and received my MFA in 1983.  After graduate school I lived in California where I did freelance work in San Diego, and taught art at Mira Costa College in San Marcos.  In 1991 I began teaching art at Mary Hardin-Baylor University in Belton, Texas where I taught Design, Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, Digital Photography and Book Arts. 

In 2019 I retired from full time teaching and moved to Fayetteville,  Arkansas where I make art, teach workshops and play the ukulele. In 2021 I joined the Creative Arts Community at Mount Sequoyah where I currently maintain a studio.
