Biography
I am never without a bevy of silent, loyal friends, because I make my own out of hand-dyed fabric scraps and glass eyes. I search for things that are innocent, even in their ugliness, unbound by conventions of adult properness, or how ratty things have to be before they are thrown away. I am formally trained in Graphic Design and work full-time as a commercial artist at a major greeting card corporation. I live in a triangle-shaped house south of Cleveland, with my husband, a soap laboratory, various medical antiques, and probably more than 50 analog synthesizers.
