Bio"The temptation is to treat this bio section as performance art. Do people really thirst to know my background in art, or do people just want to identify the disability and move on? ...I choose to do a non-bio. I am no more disabled than the next person. The possibility for disability is universal and fearsome. Those who experience disability, with themselves or with someone they love, must learn to deal with it, accept it, and try to move ahead with their lives... If anyone really wants to see me and what I look like, I'll be the middle aged woman with short graying hair riding on the scooter with the Harley Davidson decals."
