I am retired from my graphic design business (Union Street Design), but continue to do art and write in my home studio. Before starting my own business, I worked as a graphic artist for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for 23 years. I helped found the feminist SF Convention, WisCon, and worked on the concom for 39 years. I was elected as the 1987 Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund (TAFF) delegate.I was an officer of the Tiptree/Otherwise Award Motherboard for 25 years and led panels of judges in 1994 and 2016. I received nominations for Best Fan Artist three times, for Best Fanzine Editor twice, and Best Related Work once. I was honored as a guest of honor at the 72nd World SF Convention, in London England in 2014. I live with my partner in Madison Wisconsin.
