I grew up in a suburb of Boston in the 1950s. My mom was artistic so I always had a paintbrush or a knitting needle in my hand and a book in front of my nose. And of course with my toes in the Atlantic ocean every summer.
My work life was split between Los Angeles and San Diego, always in sight of the ocean. I was a technical writer for almost 40 years, writing mostly about programming languages, managing documentation departments, and presenting sessions and workshops at technical writing conferences. My artistic tendencies migrated to the digital world as I concentrated on designing PowerPoint slides and technical diagrams. I designed a few icons and logos, but the opportunities to really stretch my artistic skills were few.
