We need to eat, we need to work, we dream, we fall in love. What all of us have is a different way of entering the world. We are engaged in the world and our cultures; awareness of that fact varies. This blogsite is the space I inhabit: I am making conversation with people I don't know, making art accessible. It's a provocation to look closely, challenge the peripheral boundaries of meta-cultural material.

I am not content.
I am not content.

I don't believe we can ever really escape a narrative, no matter how abstract the approach or view, because our neurology is wired for storytelling, language-making and creative patterning. I am making art from a fluid and shifting realm which offers many metaphors and none of them can be completely trusted. It's a call to examine assumptions, and in the tension between the intimate and the general, an invitation to overlay your own experiences on my words and images.

My work has been presented in regional group exhibits and solo shows. I have a BFA (1983) from The Cooper Union, NYC + an MFA-Interdisciplinary Arts (2011) from Goddard College.
I moved to Pike County in 1985, becoming an urban/rural remix.
