Last winter I decided to try something I have difficulty with – portraits.
Working with loud music to distract me and using watercolor quickly, I wanted to capture interesting people of Greensboro.
I studied at Allegheny College and New York University. Inspiration comes from the subjects I paint. Over the door boards, which are paintings on wood, are what I do most.

“[Bechdel] set out to write a light book about her lifelong commitment to exercise, including stints as a cyclist, climber, skier and yogi. As usual, her story and art are about so much more — the realities of aging, the quest for transcendence and the drumbeat of mortality.”—Washington Post
“Wood carving is the perfect outdoor hobby for adventurous children. Teach them how to make toys, games and even jewelry with more than fifty fun whittling and wood carving projects, each fully-illlustrated with easy-to-follow instructions.” – Annotation
“Candid . . . Greenlights is more than an autobiography, far more than a comedy or a series of adventures. The author gives us a lively look at his life in and out of his movies and provides readers with an honest look at who he is.” —The Florida Times-Union
“Thoughtful and thought-provoking, this book will plant the seeds of environmental activism in young readers.” – Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
