The changes and transitions that take place within an artist’s life are worth documenting. I was fortunate enough to have these changes preserved, so that I can look back on my artistic journey in awe. The monograph has become synonymous with the study of an artist’s life along with his or her oeuvre. Book publishers use the term “artist monograph” to indicate books dealing with a single artist, as opposed to broader surveys of art subjects.

When a book is published about an artist, it leaves a legacy, a lasting account of my story and my life’s work. The writers established the artists’ work in a historical context. Future generations will be able to read about me and see photos of my work. It will remain in libraries, universities, and museums as a reference tool. If nothing else, this monograph will outlive me, and have my work transcend the limitations of time and space.
