As an artist my body of work has taken on many different forms over the years and includes polymer
clay, paper mache, collage, acrylic paints, wood burning, glass painting, glass Etching, mosaics and
handmade journals.  My favorites being clay, gourd work, paper and glue (actually, just about anything
messy).  Lately I have begun adding photography to my bag of tricks and I have begun creating
fantasy landscapes and spacescapes using photographic collage techniques.
All of my work is spirit led and I consciously open to the presence of the ascended master artist and
my guides for inspiration in creating my pieces.
Another love is teaching. I facilitate meditation groups and I have created a series of playshops
which are designed to put adults in touch with their in-dwelling artist using a variety of media in
combination with visualization and meditation.  I have taught arts and crafts to adults for more than
five years and I love watching people blossom and grow as they discover just how creative they truly
are.

My spiritual questing has led me to create a series of mandalas and meditations for the forth coming
book Divine Wine—Meditations to transform your life and noursh your soul.
