Excerpt from interview with Voyage LA: "I studied theater design at New York University but always wanted to be a painter. The painting I was drawn to make was a hybrid of both painting and sculpture. My first one man show in New York were abstract paintings covered in sand. My second one may show in New York were paintings on chalkboards with texts. I’ve had one man shows in Zurich, Tokyo, and Istanbul. Afterward, I felt stuck; an artist’s block had come over me. I turned my attention to raising my daughter and focusing on her becoming an artist. Julia Adolphe is now a successful contemporary classical composer commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and others. When I returned to my work, I started painting portraits on wax. Chrissie Iles, curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art, awarded me 1st Prize for a diptych. A year later, a tornado hit my studio and ripped the roof off. I lost 20 years of work. This crisis was a blessing in disguise. With nothing left to lose, I turned to urethane and fiberglass. These were materials I always longed to work with because of their possible translucency. Their toxicity had made me leery. My solution was working at a foundry casting my images in urethane thereby embedding them beneath the surface. The next step is finishing the paintings in my studio with spray paint and airbrush."
