I am an artist, writer, teacher and creative coach. As a self-taught mixed media artist working in both 2-D and 3-D, I am a natural experimenter. I seek to blend traditional methods with more innovative ones, pushing the creative envelope and encouraging students to do the same. Art is full of mystery, adventure, and abundant possibility. I seek to explore and create this both in my art and in my teaching. Whimsical joy is everywhere! Sharing this with students and art collectors is an on-going thrill.
