Background: I attended two years of art technical schooling in Pennsylvania: York Academy of Arts, 1969-1971. A 3-year art academy that no longer exists. Could not find any notable online information about it. I majored in sculpture and painting, but studied fundamentals of design, graphic design, print making, lettering, anatomy, and literature.

Career: from 1971-1974 or so, included pre-press production at a yearbook company, advertising agency art director’s assistant, art supply store employee. Then a change to self-employed copper sculptor, ornamental iron design, stained glass design, bas relief in bronze, and a quantity of paintings and collages. After retraining in alpha-numeric typesetting technology early in the 1980s, the past 36 years have been spent doing pre-press production for print media (newspaper, magazine, education, manuals) and on more than 100 books. Included web design in skill set around 1998.

Interests: Avid reader of history, skilled seamstress, home improvement enthusiast. Also geology, geography, architecture, the arts in general, gardening, and building technology.
