WORK HISTORY
Artist Writer @Free Lance Artist
Cleveland/Akron, OH, US
Being creative has tied together a lifetime of varied roles. While writing has always been the foundation, in 2019 I finally decided to pursue a lifelong interest as a visual artist. Back in the 1980s, I worked part time as a stained glass artist. I had always dabbled in photography, and from 19••••14 I became known as an Emmy-award winning PBS documentary maker along with my husband and creative partner. We shared a productive 20-year career.In 2012, my husband was diagnosed unexpectedly with young onset Alzheimer\'s. Creative endeavors took a back seat as we reshaped our lives to accommodate this \"new normal.\" But Alzheimer\'s also brought simplicity and clarity. In 2019, I decided to focus on being a working artist. My first juried photography show (\"Portals\" curated by Summit Artspace) brought two acceptances, including a 3rd-prize winner! In December 2019, I presented a solo exhibition entitled \"Material Worlds\" featuring more than 50 pieces of photography and assemblages, as well as steampunk-inspired jewelry, all celebrating vintage objects. 2020 and 2021 brought exhibitions and awards at galleries across Northeast Ohio: Summit Airspace, Lakeland Community College, Waterloo, Artists Archives, Stella\'s Art Gallery, Cuyahoga Falls Arts Center. It\'s time to create.
