Artist, Author, Educator

My inspiration…

That cute young man holding my hand. I treasure my son, Troy. He is the biggest and brightest spark of light in my life. And my big blended family fills my heart to OVERFLOWING.

I bet you’d never guess… I’m an adventure rider. Riding Backcountry Discovery Routes through the middle of nowhere in the most beautiful vistas that most people never see, primitive camping off the back of my motorcyle and riding challenging terrain is hard work and so rewarding. My adventure partner in life is THE BEST I could ever have

Trail running is second best. Let’s go!

I’m so grateful I have my dream job at the best school I could ask for. Inspiring and being inspired by my high school art students is so rewarding.

I look forward to publishing my book, Sparks of Light, and bringing this art show into your community spaces to spread a message of kindness and hope.
