Biography

I have been making prints for over 25 years, beginning with intaglio at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking in Norwalk, CT, there assisting master printer James Reed with lithography. I continued to learn printmaking, including two week-long workshops at Crown Point Press, because I love Richard Diebenkorn’s prints so much. I received a Diploma Studio Arts (printmaking) at the Museum School, Boston, in 2004. I also paint, but my prints are more graphic, like drawing, lately more an ongoing series called “Animal Dreams,” which is ambiguous: are these my dreams, or do they belong to the animals?
