Artist Statement:
My first meaningful exposures
to art happened at a summer
drawing class when I was a
teenager.
The class was drawing a group
of peppers on a table in the
center of the room. My lines
were tentative and weak and
did not represent the peppers
at all. The instructor and I
both new it was pretty bad.
Whenever he looked at my
drawing pad, he walked away
shaking his head.
Before the end of the class,
the instructorsaid to do it
like this. He took my hand
holding the charcoal and drew
a line, an arc, a gestural
movement that both visually
and essentially represented
the object in front of us.
There was electricity in this
mark. This mark was
intentional, full of life and
energy.
After graduating from high
school in rural upstate New
York, I earned a BA in Liberal
Arts in 1993 at Goddard
College in Vermont, with an
emphasis on photography and
psychology. Self portraits.
Later, I earned an MFA in
Imaging Arts in 1997 at
Rochester Institute of
Technology. The MFA program
emphsized Post-Modern art
theory and the political in
personal art. However, all of
my work remained a personal
expression of myself, ...
