Phoebe Louise Adams Gloeckner (born December 22, 1960), is an American cartoonist, illustrator, painter, and novelist. == Early life == Gloeckner was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her mother was a librarian〔 and her father, David Gloeckner,〔 was a commercial illustrator. Her father's family was Quaker and she attended Quaker schools when she was young. She has a younger sister.〔 Gloeckner's mother divorced when Gloeckner was 4 years old. In 1972, when she was 11 or 12 years old, her mother remarried and the family moved to San Francisco. She attended several Bay Area schools, including The Hamlin School for Girls, Castilleja (in Palo Alto), The Urban School of San Francisco, Lick-Wilmerding High School, and The Independent Learning School. She went to boarding school at one point, but returned to San Francisco to live with her mother, her mother's boyfriend, and her sister, when she was 14.〔 Gloeckner began cartooning at the age of 12. Because her mother was dating Bob Armstrong, a cartoonist in Robert Crumb's band Cheap Suit Serenaders, she met many San Francisco underground comics figures who had a profound influence upon her, including Robert Crumb, Aline Kominsky, Bill Griffith, Terry Zwigoff, and Diane Noomin.〔 An early influence was the series, "Twisted Sisters," by Diane Noomin and Aline Kominsky.〔 Gloeckner attended San Francisco State University from 1980 to 1985, where she was a pre-med student and studied French and art. She spent the 1983-1984 academic year in Université d’Aix-Marseille studying art, French, and biology and from 1984 to 1985 spent about six months studying Czech and literature at Charles University in Prague. She has an M.A. in Biomedical Communications from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, which she received in 1988. The degree was in medical illustration. Her 1987 dissertation was on the "Semiotic Analysis of Medical Illustration," which she describes as the seeing the medical images in a narrative structure.〔 Gloeckner said that she became interested in medical illustration through her maternal grandfather, who collected and sold used books, and her paternal grandmother, Dr. Louise Gloeckner, who was a doctor in Philadelphia and was the first woman to be elected vice president of the American Medical Association.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phoebe Gloeckner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
