I grew up in blue collar East Baltimore and by a sheer stroke of luck was able to continue my education past high school. I've been a practicing artist for over 50 years and have written a screenplay and two books.
I'm married with two adult children, and though now retired, I've held a variety of jobs in addition to being a lifelong artist and dabbler in words. My work can be viewed at my website: www.studioprose.com.

Education: MLA, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD; BFA, (major: painting); Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD

The path under one's feet

I am reading Alexander Chee’s “How to Write an Autobiographical Novel”. I was drawn to it because much of what I write is autobiographical and I also tend to write short pieces – his are called essays while I often call mine vignettes.

“We might pay heed to Hillel's urging that we 'go and study' (Talmud Tractate Shabbat, 31a). Students and others often feel they must choose a side.
