Getting here

Most artists are driven people. We have lots of explanations for our work- we can explain with the best of them. But where the original impetus comes from, well, I know what triggered it for me. A drawing my big brother did for our mother. One look and I knew that was what i wanted to do in life. Of course, life did get in the way but after years of searching for the voice wanted to have, I feel like I’m in a good place.
I started out as a soft sculptor/quilter and had shows in the Nassau County Museum and the Morris Museum, as well as galleries. I went into costume restoration, including a stint at the Brooklyn Museum. Since the mid 90’s I have also been a graphic artist and designer. In 2007 I was the graphic artist and designer for the Wash. D.C. Celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Vietnam Wall, and this year I have a book coming out for the Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance , a tribute for the 10th Anniversary of September 11th.
