statement

As a Northwest native, my background as Art Director and Graphic Designer show up in my work. I grew up making art with my mother, Lin Lipetz, a Seattle artist who founded an art school known as "The Factory of Visual Art" in the late 60's which was accredited to the University of Washington.

I took all the great classes at "The Factory" and continued on to the U of W receiving a degree in Advertising. After many years in the field, I have come back to the art I love. Sharing my art is always a joy.
