I was born and raised in Chicago. My background is in literature more than the visual arts.

I have always been interested both in the visual aspects of language and the contexts in which language is found. Early on, I began experimenting with typography and visual poems. My explorations of language led to making what I term "literary objects" -- small constructions of wood which incorporate words, thereby forming a new entity. Being interested in language inevitably leads one to the book, so I also make artist's books and book objects.

I have been fortunate enough to have participated in a number of international exhibitions and have my work in private and public collections in several countries.
