I was born a Mid-Century Modern in Motown, right in the southeast corner of the Mitten State. Educated at Wayne State University, I earned a BS in Education and an MA in Studio Art. After spending a decade at a regional non-profit arts organization in arts administration, destiny intervened and in 2009 I left the non-profit sector to concentrate on pursuing an active studio practice.
Somewhere along the way, I’ve become an award-winning multi-media artist producing works in a variety of subject content, ranging from oil paintings to pencil drawings to the construction of mixed media pieces. Works can be found in all the usual places: local galleries, exhibitions, and private and corporate collections.
Currently, I serve as adjunct faculty in arts and humanities at Wayne County Community College District. From time to time, I am called upon as a speaker, juror, and consultant in fine art. Represented by River’s Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, I maintain a studio at Fishnet Artist Studios, located in Dearborn, Michigan.
