Sitting on a stone bridge, sketchbook in hand, pen shaping an image on the page, and me looking a bit puzzled as I try to get my lines to match what I’m seeing.
I’ve spent my life making art of various kinds, mostly photography and writing and music with some drawing and painting tossed in for good measure. I went to art school- all the way to an M.F.A. and taught art, imaging, critical thinking… I like to think I helped my students be interested in seeing the world in new ways and finding their own voices to say what they needed to say.
These days I’m traveling the world. Sketching, exploring, writing more and photographing a bit less, but that could shift next week. I might find myself with a camera in hand, humming my way into a new conversation with the world.
