I started at the University of New Mexico Press back in the dark ages. After making my fortune in banking, I opened a gallery. That was fun for about four years, but the shop-keeping got boring. I've spent the last 20 years marketing and dealing art and exploring the myriad means of finding buyers.
Thanks for looking. Please feel free to email or phone any comments or questions.
Michelle D. Cook graduated from the University of New Mexico in 1982 under extreme conditions of duress. An agoraphobe and recluse, she was duped into attending art classes by her older brother. He accompanied her for the first year as they commuted on the bus, as Ms. Cook did not learn to drive until she was 25 years of age, about the time she received her B.F.A.
Her last print, Bed & Breakfast, was produced in 1994. The work immediately prior, Teratoma (1993), was produced when she first entered therapy, soon after meeting the love of her life ‑ “MFH the Horrible.” She has not done any prints since although she has completed several painting commissions in acrylics. Recent work includes collages and note cards.
She is interested in video and has several on YouTube which she produced. Click to see Smokin' White Folks 1 Others can be found under her pseudonym EnidDine at www.youtube.com/user/EnidDine

Vincent Distasio was born in 1939; he’s been annoyed ever since. An inveterate curmudgeon, he’s self-taught and likes it! He puts a tremendous amount of effort into retaining his *un-tutored* style although you may notice he has a particular talent for bottoms...be they bison or otherwise. When asked, he says “I paint the pictures everyone else is afraid to paint.”
He’s been at it for over thirty years, mostly in oils on canvas.
He is also a talented performer and has two videos on Youtube at www.youtube.com/user/vincentdistasio. Many of her early works reflect her *bus* experiences. As one of the few artists this side of the globe to include as many colors in her serigraphs as she did, often around 50, her editions rarely numbered as many as 35. So anal retentive was she in her process that she was lucky to produce 20 of the few images that include *blends.*
