ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I AM AN ARCHITECT. MY EARLY ART AND ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE WAS IN CHICAGO. I ATTENDED SCHOOL AT THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, THE INSTITUTE OF DESIGN, AND GRADUATED FROM THE ARCHITECTURAL DEPARTMENT AT THE ILLINOIS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WAS THEN HEADED BY MIES VAN DER ROHE. I LATER TAUGHT IN THE ARCHITECTURAL DEPARTMENT FOR SEVEN YEARS.

AFTER MOVING TO NEW YORK, AND WHILE MY FAMILY WAS YOUNG, I FREELANCED IN ILLUSTRATION AND RELATED FIELDS AND ATTENDED ART SCHOOLS IN THE AREA. I AM AN ALUMNUS OF THE SCHOOL OF VISUAL ARTS IN NEW YORK.

LATER I RETURNED TO ARCHITECTURE AND WORKED AS A SENIOR DESIGNER FOR I.M. PEI & PARTNERS IN NEW YORK.

I HAVE ALWAYS PAINTED-BEFORE AND DURING MY INVOLVEMENT IN ARCHITECTURE AND SINCE LEAVING THAT FIELD.
