Artist Statement:
I had a childhood I do not
care to talk about, however it
is the root of my art. At age
15 I ran away from home and
eventually ended up in a state
hospital for children with
psychiatric illnesses. It was
there I was diagnosed with
manic depression. I was
released at age 17, diploma in
hand and attended UW Madison
in Wisconsin USA. It was the
first year that the 1971
disability Act was in effect
and no one seemed to want to
adhere to this law… I had to
literally carry the law in my
pocket and proceed from there.
I finished collage with three
degrees in the top of my
class, winning a scholastic
for grade point average I
applied towards graduate
school was accepted and
finished. I am dyslectic I am
manic and depressed. I am
visually impaired. I have
many other disabilities and
for this I am thankful that it
has helped me to strive and
indeed without these
disAbilities I could not paint
as I do.
As a manic depressive I live
one half of my life in the
grips of despair and one half
of my life in the arms of
angels...
