bio

I grew up loving art, making crafts, and playing with color. After receiving my BFA in graphic design at the University of Washington in Seattle in 1986, I moved with my husband to the Bay Area and worked in the field of graphic design until 2001. When the need for an art teacher came up at our local elementary school, I took a chance and tried it out. While teaching explorations with materials, textures, and paints I became inspired by the beautiful student art and had to try it myself. My art evolved from my original obsession with circles in a grid to Van Gogh-esque, and now 5 years into it, I love to paint and try whatever seems fun at the time.
