Stephen Cummings
is a painter — or something — grumpily adrift in these United States. He was educated at two of those popular institutions of higher learning where, thankfully, art departments are grudgingly allowed to persist, despite their relative failure to place graduates into the paint-by-number careers so many parents and students demand. Having earned a BFA in
Tempe and an MFA in
Seattle, Mr. Cummings now lives with his parents [again], and writes about himself in the third person.
