Artistic efforts rely on observation, memory, and imagination, all life long skills.
My involvement with the visual arts has been a life long adventure. Originally from the extreme northwest corner of the state of Iowa, my family encouraged and supported artistic expression from an early age on. I earned a B.A. in Art Education from the University of Northern Iowa in 1981 with a triple emphasis in drawing, crafts and art history. IA for the past 12 years and previously taught K-12 art for eight years at Cedar Valley Community School in central Iowa. Students continue to inspire and surprise me as they experience discovery through the visual arts.
