My Story

Art has always been my way of relaxing whether it is making my own flame work beads, creating unique one of a kind jewelry pieces or , Zen Doodling and Procreate for my digital painting or writing and illustrating children’s books. Recently collaborating with a fellow artisan, I have added pyrography to my art.

I am a retired educator. I have taught at all levels from first grade to the graduate school. I have been a principal and a district-wide administrator. My love of art has always been a part of what I do. I love the challenge of learning something new.

I am currently president of Artistic Roots, a non-profit cooperative gallery and teaching center in Plymouth, New Hampshire. My affiliation with this organization has broaden my horizons for what I can do and I love collaborating with my fellow artisans.
