As a flower child of the 60’s growing up next door to Janis Joplin I was not only imprinted by the processes and works of my artist parents  (Mary King and Ken King ) but by the mixed media work of Dickens 44 Bascom. As a child I was drawn into his fantastical worlds which he created with toys, bling, coins and glue. I was also fascinated by the life in pond water viewed through my grade school microscope. Cell life glittered there much like the jewels on Dickens car but in a more abstract manner. I find myself a maximalists. I can’t help but be interested in everything from the complexities of political chaos to the minutia of cell biology.
