I gather the inspiration for my artwork from nature, dance, and the celebration of children and cultures from around the world. I enjoy bringing a strong sense of hope, inspiration, and life affirming messages to my work. In past years, these influences found their voice in fiber arts, especially batik and dye-painting. However, watercolor and marbling has become my primary mediums.
I love to bring creative experiences to students of all ages. As a teacher, I love it when a student gets excited about the creative process! When I hear them go, “cool” or “wow,” it makes my day. I love trying new things and am always developing new art experiences. Seaweed marbling and studying art from other parts of the world are projects I have researched and brought to my students over the years.
