Most of my work in the past years has been made using a subtractive relief print making method.  This involves carving an image into a linoleum plate and printing one color at a time, or in the case of “House Cat” printing on a previously print page. Ideas for the work usually come from observations or recollections of things I have seen.  Creating a piece somehow gives me a way to hold on to those recollections.

I grew up in Chicago, earned a BFA from the University of Chicago and taught elementary school art in the Chicago area for several years.  The roll of wife and mother of three, kept me busy the next 20 years.  I eventually settled in Laramie, Wyoming and with continued interest in Art, I received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Wyoming.  Upon graduating, I worked for the UW Art Museum for some time and then taught drawing, sculpture and print making classes at UW for 10 years.  I am now retired, and still working in my studio.
