Education

In 1969, Betty Crocker, best known as the dry goods, domestic diva, and Donald Judd, the minimalist sculptor, had an affair. Their brief but significant union produced a child. That child is me. As any offspring, I have absorbed certain characteristics from my parents and these traits have begun to manifest themselves in my artwork. Domestic imagery and clean, simple organization are distinctive to my work. The use of icons and organization are merely tools within a visual vocabulary. These icons become the nouns, verbs, and adjectives of a visual language that speaks to the human condition minus the human figure.
