Artist Bio​

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Art from St. Mary's College of Maryland in 1987.  Shortly thereafter I began an 18-year career in graphic design and printing for a church involved in local and international Christian ministry. VCF/GWWM had their own print shop and I managed the design work and pre-press production for numerous departments and outreach ministries. I completed my graphic design training at Delaware College of Art and Design and also created and led the "Young Artist Group" for children aged 5-12 which met at the church.

After moving to New Jersey in 2007, I received my NJ Certificate of Eligibility to teach art classes to students in grades K-12.  I also established a freelance art business which has since expanded from paper collage and photography to include digital painting and illustration!
 
In addition to former employers Gary Whetstone Worldwide Ministries and MBNA America, my clients include AtlantiCare Health Systems, Crazy Good Digital, The Walpack Inn, Mary's Marvelous, and various private collectors.
 
I live with my husband and our three pets in northwest New Jersey. For info on my writing, click here.

Artist Statement

"Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God's handwriting"  --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Creativity lives within each one of us and each person's gifts are worth celebrating! It's a journey of discovery that requires making time to explore, dream, experiment, grow, and blossom. I especially appreciate my creative comrades who've made the journey sweeter by offering their prayers, encouragement and support over the years!
