A Little About
​Myself.

I have been a creative artist all of my life.   For many years I have taught students in the public and private school sector, how to learn about the world around them through hands on, visual art making.  Inspired by the natural world, I create organic images that form illusions of movement on 2 and 3 dimensional surfaces.   I have explored many forms of art making over the years which has been useful in my teaching career.  My personal work focuses on painting, drawing and mixed media clay work.
