For seven years, I was a staff editor at the Santa Fe New Mexican, a daily newspaper, overseeing the book review and writing for the arts section. For three years, I was the Art & Design editor at Time Out Chicago. In between and all along, I have been writing about the arts for numerous publications. Here is a small sample of my work.
