On the invitation of fellow artist , here are a few glimpses of my artistic and life path - which converged early on. American, born in Chicago, I have been living in France since the 1970's
I have done many types of art work over the years, but basically public art was my career. I worked for a city in the U.S., creating murals, sculptures, and mosaics which were designed for specific public places. Here is a photo of me working on a large (520 square meters, 1700 sq. ft.) mural in Galesburg Illinois to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Dick Blick art materials company. It was the one job where I got to work on scissor lift scaffolding. I am wearing the striped tee-shirt.
And here are a couple of pictures of me working on the plasticine prototype of my St. Jean the Baptist sculpture and with my model for my farmer sculpture.
In addition, I spent years going to, and painting, French Reunion Island, then India. I am still in my India phase. Here I am with my favorite tree in the Lal Bagh botanical garden in Bangalore, India.
The visit of my Indian meditation master to my studio in 2008:
Dancing with Indian friends to celebrate Diwali, the Indian festival of lights dedicated to the Goddess of knowledge, wisdom and learning, Saraswati.
Working in my Paris area studio as it looks today:
With family in the Val d'Oise, France. My "significant other" is the man with the orange tee shirt.
