I taught art history for many years and worked as an art educator and arts administrator while also pursuing my interest in lettering and book arts. The various processes of binding and production allowed me to teach and raise a family although there never seemed to be enough time to devote solely to the book arts.

My books have been exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Morgan Paper Conservatory, Brecksville Art Center, Tri-C West, Zygote Press and Kalamazoo Center for Book Arts, Notre Dame College and Beachwood Community Art Center. I am especially drawn to imagery with art historical references as well as themes of hope, beauty and regard for the earth.
