Bio:
A.D. Herzel has exhibited work for the past twenty years. Her drawings and prints have been shown in Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania and soon Korea. She trained as a painter and printmaker at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and went on to receive her M.Ed. in Art Education at the Tyler School of Art.
She is a multi-disciplinary visual artist, designer, educator and writer. She identifies as a very American middle class, middle age, married mother of two. In addition, as a Korean American Adoptee raised in New York and now raising her sons in rural Southwest Virginia and with a husband in Afghanistan, she manages the American maelstrom with as much grace, humor and optimism as possible. When all else fails, her Art is her maxim and the golden thread in this maze of absurdity called life. She currently lives and works in Blue Ridge, Virginia.
