Artist Bio
        My art career began as a student of drawing, painting, and design at Washington University in
St. Louis, MO.  While at Wash U. I spent a semester in Florence, Italy, and it was this experience that changed my life forever.  At that time I realized that creating art would be my life long objective.  I received my B.F.A. in Graphic Communications with a Concentration in Illustration in May 1992.
            In 1999, I completed a Master’s degree in Secondary Education from WWU aspiring to share my passion for art with students. 
            Currently, I teach Art (Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, and of course, Wild Things!), advise the Art Club and Animanga Club, and serve as Fine Arts Department Chair at Walla Walla High School. 
            My personal art continues to be inspired by experiences from traveling, experimenting with different art materials, and focuses on the power of nature as it relates to human existence and progress. I regularly show my artwork with the locally-based Northwest Sisters in Art group.

Summer 2006 Work at Crow's Shadow
        This summer I worked as Press Assistant with Master Printer, Frank Janzen at Crow's Shadow Institute located outside of Pendleton, OR.   I had the honor of working with local artists, Lillian Pitt and Jeremy Wolf, and assisted in printing the most recent lithograph by James Lavadour, Stick House.  If you have never visited this amazing print studio, you are missing out!!  It is a truly outstanding artists' facility set in an inspiring and beautiful location.
