    Statement of Work

    Like so many others, 9/11 is seared into my head and heart. As an artist I find I am able to express my feelings best in my art. I join the artists in each generation who spoke through their art. 9/11 has scarred us all forever. We can never be the same. That was the weekend of my grandson's first steps and I kept thinking about the world he was stepping in to.

    Resume

    I have been a professional artist for over 30 years. I was a founder of and director of an artist run gallery in Philadelphia. Currently I continue to exhibit my work and I teach art as a volunteer to inner city youngsters. My students made stained glass windows for a school in South Africa. I started as a sculptor, then as a painter and now I "paint' using computer software combining free hand drawing with photographic images.
