Grew up with a lot of freedom and outdoors to run around in, in Grand Rapids, Michigan (1960s). All my grandparents were immigrants so I grew up with an outsider's eyes. |
| About the Artist | |
I’m interested in making art about life, not so much art about art. Paying attention to experience has its own rewards, providing endless ideas for new art. |

| Education and biography | |
| Started drawing as a little kid, studied painting in high school and then drawing and composition in college before losing courage and getting a practical degree...got a second chance, so went back to college for a fine arts degree (UT-Austin). Inspirations are everywhere, my own life or the larger world. Have to restrain my imagination to be consistent w/ images. Please see my pages on jillalo.com or artist.de for resume. | |
