Artist • Writer • Teacher Art has always been part of my life in one form or another. My mother was an artist and always encouraged my artistic endeavours. Back in the '70s and '80s, it was drawing, crochet, and needlepoint. In the last ten or so years, I have become involved in painting, pen & ink, and beading, but I always look for ways to integrate several of these art forms together, hence my interest in using painting and fibres in jewelry making. I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher™ (CZT), and a digital artist and teacher.
