About the Artist:

I work as an artist creating prints, artist books, drawings and digital images.   I received my BFA degree from the Rhode Island School of Design (1978) and my MFA degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1981).  My relief and silkscreen prints meld together abstract and readable letterforms extracted from Western, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern and Meso-American writing systems, graffiti, calligraphy, charts and maps.  My art-making process involves excising segments of my printed images, repositioning, layering, and reassembling them into a matrix of patterns and glyphs that have become the trademark of my work. I am continually modifying my imagery, rebuilding and altering my prints into complex forms of novel permutations that are visually, technically, and conceptually connected.  I continually experiment in adapting my printmaking practice to different types of  technology and digital imaging programs.

My work has been exhibited in one-woman, international print biennials and triennials, invitational, group and juried shows.   My prints are found in many museum and corporate collections including:  the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Boston Public Library, The Fogg Museum, UCLA’s Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts, the Huntsville Museum of Art, the Mint Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Museum of Art, California State University Long Beach, Museum of Art, Texas Tech University, National Museum of American Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution.
