So I have decided that I want to pursue something else I love. I am applying to go to Kent State for a Master's in Library and Information Sciences. I figure that I am just so tired of all the art bullshit.. that it is kind of ruining art all together for me... I don't even feel like painting these days... and I always feel like painting... And I do want to do something more rewarding than fight with other artists to be recognized. This way... I can work with a university or museum and do research/teach/inform people about art and how to gain more information, and I can still be an artist and show my work. Maybe I am just too old for all the politics of the art world, or too smart for it. Sometimes I feel like the most idiotic people can bullshit their way to anything... while the smartest people sit back and think about things more... I feel good about this... I feel like I am starting to make sense of what a life for me could be... and stop worrying about what it isn't.
I love books and literature and art... and many people don't know how much I love libraries.. even the old book smell. So. Here goes. Wish me luck. And I think I am finding what I have been looking for.
About Me
- ..
- The visibly chaotic collage in all of my work is muted by a solid pattern creating a narrative about the place or event. Flat forms in shallow spaces are used as veils to conceal parts of the narrative. The fragmented imagery in the background relates to memories, and how over time some of the details are lost. The viewer must sift through the images to compose a narrative. For me, my architectural and natural surroundings mixed with cultural icons lead me to create an experience through forms and collage. My work is very personal, but I want the culture of the place or event to come through in the visual experience of the piece. The forms I use, whether natural or architectural, derive from my everyday environment.

Good luck with the MLIS. Ya'll like being a librarian. It's a fun job. I've been doing it for two years now.
