- Introduction
- This is me and my son who is now 4. I've been obsessed with ATCs since March '07. In the 80's, I attended the SMFA for five years and then I went on to get a certificate in Design at Mass Art. I have always wanted to "be an artist". ATCs made it so!
- What are your favorite places on earth?
-
my bed, the beach, a hot tub, on the dance floor, anyplace with someone I am in love with
- What's your motto or favorite saying?
-
It's not about how it looks, it's about how it feels.
- Why ATCs? What's the attraction?
-
Small scale, less risk, little materials cost and low overhead, fast, instant gratification, community of people, ATCs are what I have been saving scrips and scraps from my entire life for.
- What other small-scale art projects (if any) appeal to you? Greeting cards, postcards, altered books, boxes, 4 x 4s...?
-
Bookbinding, knitting, watercolors, graphic design, I love trying new media and techniques. I love texture.
- Who are your favorite artists, well-known or otherwise?
-
Joseph Cornell, Francis Bacon, Andy Goldsworthy, Andy Warhol, lots of artists that were popular in the 50s and 60s. Paul Rand. Drew Friedman, Ken Brown.

“ Liked the community aspect of getting together, but it was difficult for me to get all my supplies there, and to concentrate on making art in a group. ”
