About

Born Bryn Mawr, PA, 1934

​

I left the East Coast and migrated to Oregon in 1959, working as an architect, planner & graphic artist in the Portland vicinity until 1990. I retired early to pursue art and take care of my son Toby Spillman when he had an aneurysm.

 

I love to wander to take photos. I add to the images haiku and poetry. In addition, I paint. In Todos Santos I made paintings by grinding back layers of painton car hoods.

 

My life has been filled with family. My partner, Freddy Spillman, a wonderful painter and illustrator died in 2023. Together we built an amazing life that allowed us to wander.  

​

In 2024, I turned 90 and am more dedicated to my artistic pursuits than ever.

I would love to show my work in galleries and museums. Please contact me!
