while living in northeast Kansas in the early 1970s, i was asked to build a doll house. instead, i chose to build what i called a museum of modern art; the plywood building's design was influenced by my childhood obsession with the formed concrete of Kivett &
Myers' Kansas City International Airport. i also crafted the museum's miniature abstract paintings and tiny metal sculpture, informed by family outings to the contemporary collection at the Nelson-Atkins.
while living in New York in the late 1980s, i began to paint on glass.
the pictures were very 80s, for the most part being images of golden metallic pears or elegantly drowning men or exploding TV sets.
i moved to California in the early 1990s. i live & work in San Francisco, where i make mixed media work on glass.
