Born 1963 in Albany, NY, I am a self-taught artist from the Outsider/Folk school. |
| About the Artist | |
As an artist I have been heavily influenced by both surrealism and expressionism. I can not seem to create works which I do not not have an emotional relationship with, and have no interest in making art otherwise. In the early 1990's I was published in several little literary magazines, but stopped to pursue visual work. It was around the year 2000 that I began seeking publication again, in addition to looking for venues in which to show art. Thankfully, via the web, both my writing and artwork have been showcased internationally. What a great way to connect with others without frightening them should I not feel like combing my hair! |
