As a child I was always breaking things or mildly ruining them and I had to devise a way to cover my tracks or fix the destruction.  Thus, my exploration of the creative process began early. 

Leaving home at an early age (too much breakage), I attempted to live off the land in Italy – apparently apple picking done dramatically is not productive and so I was sent back to New York.  At the State University of New York I crafted by BA in Art History with some courses developed through a coalition of students and faculty.  I was fortunate enough to work in the most startling building in New York City – the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  I love art.

Moving to California where I could blame earthquakes for a lot of the destruction, I received my teaching credential from UCLA.  It has been my honor for over 20 years to be a teacher in Redlands and Yucaipa.
