I am an avid painter, baker, caregiver, life liver. I am constantly seeking new things, creative outlets and positive connections. I believe giving of myself is my purpose in this life. I also believe that giving to myself first makes me a better person when I give to others. To share what I know, what I’ve learned and what I care about in this world lends to my creative foundation as much as painting, baking or experimenting and I continue to thrive in sharing with others.
I have written one book, Encaustic Workshop as well as several articles in assorted magazines and conduct demonstrations and workshops throughout the United States; always seeking new venues!
When not completely immersed in this creativity, I keep myself busy raising four teenage sons, two cats and 5 bantam hens.
