RECOGNITION

Born on the West coast of the US and raised in upstate New York State I now live in the American Southwest in Tucson, AZ. Making art was my first love as a child, and art continues to impact my life every day.
Although I grew up in a small town I had a lot of artistic influence from my family; my father loved art & played musical instruments, one of his brothers was a professional artist, my mother always encouraged making hand-made gifts and cards, and two of my five sisters are also artists.

E-mail:

Majored in art in both high school and college; earned a BS in Art from Nazareth College of Rochester, NY. Also earned an MS in Education from the same institution, which enabled me to balance a teaching profession with my art while raising two children.
I still enjoy teaching art workshops and love the exchange of inspiration that always takes place in my classes.
