I am married to a wonderful man who encourages my creativity and, most of the time, looks past my artistic messes.  I am the mother to two great teenagers who put up with and inspire me.  I taught art for eight years in the same school my children attended, "retired" from that when my daughter graduated, and now teach out of my home studio.  My current work is hand painted vintage photos on canvas, whimsical acrylic paintings, and commission work.  I am passionate about my work, and hope to inspire that same passion in those to whom I come in contact with and teach.

I feel that the essence of spiritual practice is your attitude toward others. When you have a pure, sincere motivation, then you have right attitude toward others based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.  ~ 14th Dalai Lama
