From Here to There

For forty years, I taught art to children and adults in a variety of contexts. Concurrently, I maintained my art-- exhibiting and joining a printmaking collaborative. Since retiring, I'm in the studio daily and I also teach tai chi. My practice involves play, experimentation, and staying open to the unexpected.

"My artwork is about empathy—for ourselves, our stories, and for the planet. While I'm inspired by the natural beauty of my surroundings, my work is not literal. I think of composition as a dance between my intention and where the work takes me."
