Nature has been my guide always. Being an artist, I can express my love for Nature, awesome moments I have had with Nature and a cathartic release of emotion through paint to express the dangers to Nature that we pose. I try to stay on the positive side through artworks but reality of problems to the planet sometimes take the lead. Studying art in Lucca, Italy at Creative Artists Studies helped me to see connections down through the ages in art. I continued my education, having a MA in art/education/aesthetics. I taught for years at The Carnegie Museum of Art and at various schools. I paint full time now that I no longer teach. Yet I still feel like a student and as Michelangelo said: 'Ancora Imparo' I am still learning!
