Wry, progressive artist-type, surprised to be considered an elder by some.
I co-founded and was the original Artistic Director of American Theater Company (Tulsa, OK,USA) during its glory days. Moved to Norfolk, VA, co-founded another theater company, Serpent Child Ensemble, to do community based art around the US South. Taught adjunctly at 9 or so Institutes of Higher Learning. Tired of scrambling in the dog-eat-dog world of the theater, I returned to my first love, the highly lucrative field of visual art. I have written/illustrated 9 books, as well as illustrating for others.
