I have been a practicing artist in a variety of mediums and roles most of my life. In my 20 years as a Montessori teacher/director, while teaching and encouraging artwork in my students I returned to creating art for myself. I was inspired to earn a masters degree in Arts & Consciousness at JFKU in Orinda, CA. Since then I have created and shown my work intermittently, while pursuing an Advanced Yoga Teacher training. In more recent years my work has been shown in three juried JFKU  alumni exhibitions. I've had several one person shows at a local cafe.
