About me

Industry Arts
Occupation Advocate, Educator, Historian, Curator, Consultant in Curating and Collecting
Location Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Introduction I am an independent art historian, curator and teacher who specializes in book art because I think it is the most challenging and enlightening art form invented. I also work as an advocate and educator, advising private and public book art collections, and working in development and fund-raising in support of book artists and the organizations that help to nurture them. The audience for book art is a congenial group of artists and writers, librarians and curators, as well as every person who enjoys spending time with books and art who hasn't yet realized that they will love book art. My daughter and I adore our two cats, best buddies Minnie and Mickey, and I love travel and photography and all things visual and active. I am happiest when I am within sight of Lake Minnetonka every day; biking or walking or sailing in spring, summer and fall, or walking across its expanse in winter.
