About
I am a painter, printmaker, and art educator who delights in sharing the world of creative expression. Since 1998 I have taught through Salem Art Association's Community Art Education program, and for the past few years have facilitated Family Art Days at the Hallie Ford Museum in Salem, Oregon. I also teach private and group art classes to children and adults.
I studied art before obtaining degrees in Communication Disorders and Audiology where my focus was working with children. Prior to returning to art full time, I worked as a clinical audiologist which fed my interest in science and problem solving. My love of travel and teaching has allowed me to bring art to students in Canada, Brazil, and Turkey. When not in the classroom, I enjoy reading, gardening and cooking, which in turn provide inspiration for sketchbook journals and other studio work. My artwork reflects an interest in nature, landscape and growing things, inviting the viewer to see beauty in humble, everyday surroundings.

Sketchbook journaling is an adventure.
