Biography

One of my favorite childhood memories is of digging through discarded items at a junkyard just over the hill from my house. To some it was useless junk, but to me it was treasure. A seemingly endless supply of interesting and peculiar materials that were just waiting to reveal their new purpose to the world. The creative process of figuring out that purpose was magic. Today my creative pursuits are integrated into every part of my life both professionally and personally, through the creation of my own art, the making of my home, my classroom, my curriculum, my professional development, and volunteer activities.
I have a Master of Fine Arts from Edinboro University and continue my professional development through classes, seminars and my daily artistic practices. As an art educator for more than 20 years, my mission is to help students to see the world through their own creative lens and to find joy and adventure in the act of creating.
