After pursuing degrees in Education and then Art, I taught for thirteen years in Chicago suburban schools. Then came a career change to Interior Design where I remained until retirement. While still in Highland Park, Illinois, I began taking classes at The Art Center and was exposed to many artists. I also spent time at Museums and Galleries in Chicago while working as a designer. The majority of my work is figurative and mixed-media. I enjoy the experimentation involved in allowing concepts to dictate the materials as I proceed. The gestural aspect of drawing and line as expressive tools are major elements in my work.
