I was born in Philadelphia Quaker country and raised on an island in the Detroit river My Life has taken me to Baltimore for my BFA, New York City, Delaware, DC, Maine, New Jersey,Chicago and back again to Michigan here I remain in the middle of the woods i hold so dear with cats entwined around me. i paint i listen i work i wait <> images my world is peopled by images always images of everything, past present emotions concepts words ideas sound and thought; my inner world is an eye. yet Music; rhythm and cadence; dance and release; follow me everywhere my unbidden lover my delight these images flow through me mingling with Myth and Soul emotion, symbol dreams and desires the Self (much more) Journeys into and out of finding and looking yearning and defiance past and present Standing Still from the wellspring of God (ourselves) by color, symbol and juxtaposition I address my questions and reassert my desire to be One again
