written many didactic museum wall texts and a number of exhibition catalogues and brochures. I have also organized and moderated a number of art panel discussions, taught docents for art museum tours and interviewed for public television shows on art.
In addition I have archived 3 major art collections and designed multiple installations for 4 different artists.
And in the early 1980's I ran an art library in Soho for 2 1/2 years.
In addition to first loving - my daughter, family and friends - I love living in NYC and all visual art from the Venus of Willendorf on. My favorite places in the world are the White Mountains of NH and Chianti, Italy.
I am drawn to traditional Japanese aesthetics.
I want to go back to Japan and I want see Eastern Europe. I want to be in Taos, New Mexico at least one week out of every year.
I especially want never to have to move again after next spring. In the last 12 years alone I have lived in 9 places.".
