I am a working Artist and have taught art workshops for many years. I am the owner of Gro(w)th Experience Art Studios. My love to paint, draw, work in clay, and fibers and this experimental approach leads to original mixed media artwork. I also work realistically. Landscapes, seascapes, birds, and other nature images reoccur in my work along with figures. I am an active board member of Salt Valley Arts and other art associations. I have a BFA in drawing & painting from Wayne State University and an MAT in teaching Art along with Post Bachelor work in Fibers from Eastern Michigan University, Continued studies from College of Creative Studies
