Artist Highlight

I am passionate about art and teaching and have had the privilege to combine both for most of my life. I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and received a Bachelor in Art Education from Ohio State University. I moved to Florida in 1981 and earned a Masters in Art Education from Florida Atlantic University. I have had the opportunity to teach K-12 Visual Art  for the last 34 years while experimenting with different media and themes to develop my own art. During the summer months, I travel to Canada where I enjoy Plein Air watercolor painting in downtown Toronto, throughout Ontario, and Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick. Recently, I have expanded my work to include acrylics and mixed media collage. For me, the natural beauty and color in the landscape is the primary focus of my work. Hopefully, through my paintings, the viewers will be able to experience everyday places and spaces in a new light.

I am currently a member of the Delray Art League, Coral Springs Artist Guild, Women in the Visual Arts, and the National Art Education Association.
