All my life art, performance and hands on, has been the one constant life force, offering reward and building self esteem along the way. Since 1978 I have been teaching youth ages 4-18 art in some form and planting seeds of success and creativity. A happy parent who loved what her kids were doing in art class in preschool, changed my direction by offering a job in the arts at a county art facility, The Art Place-Mt. VIew. This is where I stayed and eventually ran, including my teaching years, for over 20 years. Each day I worked with amazing staff, artists and patrons. In 2015 I retired and now I choose when and where I do all of the above! Art Every Day is my mantra and it feeds my soul. Take a look at the pieces included in the website and other information about the scope of my work. I hope you will find something that brings you the same joy I found in created them.
