The inspiration of my work comes from ideas within me and images that surround my environment. Forming different concepts and changing the world around me, motivates my creativity.

I graduated from Indiana State University with an area art major and went on to Indiana University Southeast to receive my master’s degree in art education. I taught visual arts for over 35 years, Where I introduced my students to a variety of media and an array of creative ideas.

My main area of concentration is painting and drawing, though I have created in ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and collage. Expressing myself in different types of art refreshes my inner self.
