I took off for the none too distant Kutztown University. I had intended to split myself
evenly between graphic design and illustration studies. But after my first typography class,
I was hooked. It should be said that it was difficult to tear me away from my art table
and my computer. At the beginning of my junior year, I studied at a school just
outside of London. Although I had my differences with the English approach to work
(when the students approached work at all, they were more interested in creating an
amazing story about the deeper meaning rather than showing much in the tangible
sense- a crafty device to avoid work....is it tea time yet?), I soon watched my own work
take on another dimension. Maybe it was all the Brittiness rubbing off on me,
but I was forced to think about my conceptual approach.

From that time forward, my work improved vastly. I used my illustrator's eye for
balance and form, my love and knowledge of fine art, historical and contemporary,
along with what I have learned of design history to create pieces that not only
were pleasing to the eye, but also evoked more subtle ideas.
