I am an artist, a musician, and infatuated with both animals and nature. My entire life (literally) I've loved all four. I currently have 2 rescue dogs, Sasha and Kanji, and a 15 pound tabby cat named Peace. In music, piano is my instrument. I've learned the basics of a lot of instruments, but keep coming back to piano. In art, I have done everything from painting, to quilting, to textile portraits, to embroidery, to mixed media etc etc. Painting is what I have constantly returned to. While I have exercised self discipline occasionally and worked monochromatically, I'm always drawn to COLOR. If you're interested, you can check out my Instagram page where I've posted pictures of a lot of my work over the years.

I earned a music education BA back in 1981 and taught piano for years, but have stopped teaching so that I can concentrate on my painting, and am currently only 3 semester hours away from a BA in art, 2D studio.

I love to meet artists and art lovers, and would love to connect with you. You can use my contact page, or message me on Facebook.
