About Me
WHAT PAYS THE BILLS:
Art Educator for 34+ years. I have taught all age levels; currently spending my week days with middle schoolers.
WHAT SATISFIES MY SOUL:
As a mixed media artist, I am fascinated by the layering of various art media onto a surface. This sometimes includes collage materials like old book pages or discarded sheet music. I enjoy the challenge of trying out different formats, from paper to canvas to wood. My work is constantly evolving as I continue to play and experiment...refusing to settle in on one style/technique.

I was honored this past spring to receive the MAEA Middle School Art TOY up in Belfast, Maine. Many artists/teachers gathered to make art, connect, and recognize deserving art teachers throughout the state.
The Maine Art Education Association is a great outlet to be connected to.
We wrote a book!

My 34th year of being an art educator also brought me back to what it is like to be a student again! Very humbling.
