I hold an MFA in the visual arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design, a BA in fine art from Otterbein University, and an AAS in Graphic Design from Columbus State Community College.

I taught Graphic Design at Columbus State Community College for 9 years and now I am an Art Director at Williams Lea.

I call myself a fine artist, a graphic designer and a teacher. I work both realistically and abstract.

My focus is in painting, drawing and sculptural stick art, but I also experiment with mixed media.

My newer work embraces recycling and reusing materials.

I love earth art and plan to incorporate more natural elements into my art. My goal is to develop an eco friendly art practice.

I love being a mom.

I love to travel and have a bucket list of places I want to experience. One of the highlights of my life was my time in Israel…and here in the desert on a camel.

Art has been one of the greatest healers in my life.

When I was born, my aunt brought markers and a sketch pad to the hospital room for me! I guess she already knew the path I would take.

There is always something to create, explore and discover. I am never bored.
