Places I've been: Studied at Carnegie Inst. of Technology (now known as Carnegie-Mellon). MFA from Princeton Univ. Traveled extensively in Europe and presently living in Stockholm, Sweden.
More about me: I'm a painter/sculptor/graphic designer, who actually started out many moons ago as an architect - but that's a long story. I live alone and have three wonderful kids, all grown up but still close by. My main passion for the past several years has been developing a Java-based crossword puzzle for the Internet, which uses images to illustrate humorous plays on words, names and expressions. Visual puns, as it were. If anyone out there enjoys "brainteasers," they can check it out at the following URL: www.pictopuzzlegame.com
I'd love to hear what you think of my slightly whacky invention!
