Biography
This is where the artist normally would tell you about their art degrees
and where they obtained them. I floundered around the working world
until becoming an artist at age 45. I haven’t pursued an art
degree; it isn’t likely that I ever will. And although I can
appreciate the value of a university degree, I don’t regret the
course that has brought me to this place.
In the summer when I was 15, my first job was to drag chickens from
their cages and load them into crates for shipping to the soup factory.
On the way to becoming an artist, I was a switchboard operator, typist,
courier, medical secretary, dicta-typist and 911 dispatcher. I have
delivered pizzas and fixed typewriters. I even sang in a band.
I think that we each have one thing we were meant to do, and that
I have been lucky enough to find that thing. I would wish the same
for everyone.
