Born on Long Island, New York, I grew up there and in Bethesda, Maryland. I moved to San Francisco in 1985; prior to that, I had lived in the Berkshires and the Arkansas Ozarks, where I made a house and various other things–from drawings to gardens. In 1988, after completing formal studies at California College of Arts and Crafts, I established my San Francisco studio in the arts complex at Hunters Point Shipyard.
