I am an artist-in-health, painter, teaching artist and lifetime learner. My passion is sharing joyful art experiences with caregivers and adults living in continuing care communities or aging-at-home.

A clear connection to nature, historical events, people or places encourages students of all ages to become actively engaged with their art project.​ 
Caregivers receive step-by-step tutorials, art tips and professional level materials which result in successful art experiences and smiling faces.  ​
Learning and creating together in a group setting or one-on-one provides social interaction.  Regular sessions of creativity promotes a sense of purpose and increases a feeling of well-being.

I love sharing the joy and discoveries that I make while creating  art;  for me it is simply too hard to not spread art-joy to others.

Daily walks with my dachshund Monty often includes the ground-level discoveries of spiderwebs, water tumbling and plants budding out.
​I geek out over the patterns of bark, water ripples and the perfect symmetry of flowers.  This fascination with nature can be seen ​HERE in my painted silk scarves.
