2D or not 2D, that was never the question. Whether it was better to leave the pilloried drawing flat, or to take it to the land of sculpture - to force dimension? To make it live? To come awake? Sleep, I say, perchance to dream of immortality? Ay, it's but a rubbing! The mortal life it never seeks, that undiscovered country of blood and toil. Yet I, with conscience am made a fool by this mad resolution... With all my sins remembered, that current trend awry, I fly to 2D paperglyphs whose pale thought at once revives.
I'm a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I've been teaching drawing and painting for the last 24 years. My interest in Russia, based on my heritage, has produced an in-progress degree in Slavonic Studies. I've cruised down the Volga taking in the full drama of Kizhi Pogost and other ancient villages, architecture and icon painting. Recently, I travelled in the footsteps of my Norwegian great-grandfather to Newfoundland where the first Viking settlement in North America can be seen. I am married with two wonderful children.
