| Introduction | For the past twenty-two years I have been a prolific professional artist. My primary discipline is painting. My secondary disciplines are writing, calligraphy, collage and mixed media, including handmade boxes, handmade books and notecards. The highlights of my career include a two-year stint as an art columnist, an award-winning artist's residency at a prominent museum, several solo and group exhibitions, magazine covers and features, also television, radio and speaking engagements, to name just a few. I am a mid-career artist who is once again promoting my art, while seeking to make good friends and have fun along the way. |
