About the Expert

Expert: I have been a calligrapher for over 35 years, since I first learned as a student of Arnold Bank at Carnegie Mellon University, in the course of my studies for a Graphic Design BA.Although my background is in traditional lettering styles and formal design projects, my current work focuses on the use of writing as a textural element in my paintings.My work ranges from encaustic paintings and three dimensional forms to transcription of lettering on material as diverse as bark, chiffon, rice tissue and paper. The common element in my work is the use of letterforms, both as writing and abstract calligraphic marks. I teach classes in Calligraphy, Graphic Design, Visual Dynamics and Color at Middlesex Community College, The Museum School in Boston, and Cambridge Center for Adult Education.
