Artist Statement:
Born in Redwood City, California I was the first in my family to be born west of the Mississippi, a fact my mother insisted explained so much about me. I moved to New York at the age of ten and eventually studied art at SUNY College at Buffalo, graduating in 1974 with a BS in Education.
I have made art throughout my life and can finally devote my full attention to it. My work borrows strongly from traditional graphic design, pastiche, and other 20th Century artistic sensibilities--only my tools have changed.
I have always been interested in numbers, letters, and symbols, and use these elements alongside popular imagery. Some have political and social leanings, though many are truly just representative of my experiences, and my observation of the collective experiences of my generation.
