About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a visual artist and love meeting people to understand humanity

ABOUT ME

I am a mixed media artist, with a busy practice and make drawings and installations. Love to travel and meet people and have decided that every summer I want to visit a new city/ country. I am social, enjoy people, and have an open and tolerant attitude. I laugh a lot and have an irreverent sense of humor. I teach and make art for a living and am very grateful for what I do. Wherever I go usually my first destination is an art museum. I also love historic neighborhoods/ architecture. Lastly I love to cook and am a good but intuitive cook.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to educate, share, learn and inform about the human spirit through my art and teaching. I believe in being open and receptive to outside influences.
