I earned my BFA (Painting & Drawing) from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1989, then worked in 'Corporate America' for over 30 years. I have since retired.

Continuous education & experimentation is important to me, with each medium influencing the other. These include: Digital photography, Photo editing & restoration,  Native American Beadwork, Basket Weaving (don't laugh), Felting, Stenciling, Sewing.  

I am currently studying with premiere color pencil artist Bonnie Snowden.
