I am a pastel painter and photographer. I love traveling and taking photos of people, places and things. Some of the photos become translated into my paintings. I have been taking pictures for years and started painting 4 years ago.

I worked in education for 27 years as teacher and special Ed teacher as well as school occupational therapist. I originally pursued OT because, at that time the use of arts and crafts was a central component to rehabilitation. Sadly, not so much today, but I still believe that art is a powerful tool for health, physical, psychological, and spiritual.
