Writing
I’ve written about art for over a dozen years, and have enjoyed spending time with many of the world’s most interesting artists. From 1989 to 1994, while I was a Contributing Editor for publications like Sculpture and Village View, my percentage of reviews featuring female, unknown, and minority artists exceeded almost every art critic in America.
As a multiple award-winning artist, I have enjoyed a long exhibition history throughout the U.S. and Europe, having shown painting, sculpture, collage, installation and video. I’ve also given performances in Los Angeles and New York for audiences of several hundred. My last sculpture series was made from old books, taking the concept of judging a book by its cover literally. Two new series are being developed. One returns to my long-time investigation of fire and another is based upon fashion designs generated by my subconscious, culled from 12 years of extensive dream journals.
My first curatorial effort was "Beauty Stripped Bare / LA Black + White" for BGH Gallery in Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station in 2003. The show of over 70 artists’ works in black and/or white – a contrary notion in a city drowning in colorful but not necessarily good young painters – broke attendance records for the gallery and launched the careers of several unknown artists. Critical praise for the exhibit included LA Weekly Art Pick of the Week by Peter Frank, a flavorpill art pick of the week and a review in Coagula, both by Shana Nys Dambrot, and selection for the LA Scene pages as one of the best events of the month by the stylish editors of Angeleno magazine.
