I am a self-taught abstract artist and started my art business later in life. I worked as a substance abuse counselor for over 30 plus years and retired in November of 2023. I have been married 48 years and have a 39-year-old daughter who lives in Chicago. 

I have always loved animals. So, it is not a shocker I have always had numerous pets. At the present we have two adorable Chihuahuas, which I admit are very spoiled. My daughter and I showed miniature horses for years. We had two senior mares, unfortunately one passed in December of 2023, but we still have one ole gal at age 28. Who’s enjoying her retirement too. I have always loved creating and my art gives me great pleasure. I teach classes at The Cheshire Union where I also have my second studio. I sell my pieces at The Artisans Cove at Piano Works Mall in East Rochester, Artizans in Naples, Skaneateles Artisans in Skaneateles and at The Cheshire Union in Canandaigua, [as well as The Windmill].
