ARTIST BIO
Art has never been a career, but always my life. I graduated from Central Michigan University with my degree in K-12 Art Education. In addition to teaching for Mid-Michigan Community College and Clare High School, I created commission pieces that are in private collections throughout Michigan, and also compositions selected for exhibit in juried shows. I developed a Gallery Management Class in my curriculum during the last four years at Clare High School; this began my transition to full time gallery owner and artist after retiring in 2014 from C.H.S.
