I am a studio artist and educator, exhibiting my oil paintings at galleries and art festivals during the year. Since the summer of 2000 I teach a workshop called ‘The Visual Journal’ that I developed for Eastern Michigan University. It takes place for one week each August at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan. I also teach the workshop for Wayne State University’s Art Therapy Department.  I am an Adjunct Professor at Eastern Michigan University having received an M.F.A. in Painting in 1994. I live with my husband Michael who is a blacksmith and our cat, Miss Colby. I have two grown children, Leslie and Eric and a grandchild, Indigo.
