A West Michigan native, I am a Chicago-based art writer, freelance journalist, author, and independent mural scholar. I have freelanced articles on a variety of topics–mostly on visual art and public art–to dozens of local, regional, national, and art publications, including the ”Chicago Reader” (20+ years), ”Chicago” magazine, the ”Chicago Tribune”, ”Chicago Artists’ News”, ”Chicago Art Magazine”, ”Public Art Review” (Chicago correspondent), ”Sculpture”, ”ARTnews”, ”Art Papers”, ”New Art Examiner”, ”Landscape Architecture”, ”Labor’s Heritage”, ”Michigan History”, as well as ”Illinois Magazine”, ”Illinois Times”, ”Illinois Super Lawyers”, etc. I am an adjunct lecturer in the Art and Architecture Department of Harold Washington College, of Chicago City Colleges. I am currently writing a book on the murals of Chicago artist William Walker (1927-2011), partly through a Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant.
