I am a “people person” and love Nature. I love to share my love of the Divine Creative. My art takes me in a variety of directions. I love paper, printmaking, and painting. But, I also enjoy the camera and have studied photography. Therefore, I find that I create in a number of veins. I create in collage, watercolor and incorporate many printmaking techniques. I live in rural Indiana and love the landscape. Many of my paintings are a reflection of places and times of the year. Much of my work is watercolor. I am a Signature member of the Bloomington Watercolor Society and the Watercolor Society of Indiana.I am a retired Art teacher, and I have found myself still wanting to guide others~ now I am placing my focus on women and helping them midwife their own discovery of the “face of their Guide” through a process called “The Art of Allowing”. I am working with women one-on-one. If this intrigues you, please contact me.Some bodies of my work I call inner landscapes. In these pieces, I work abstractly with handmade papers from my own studio and from around the world, creating collages with printing techniques and found objects. I have been working with Mandalas for decades, and I am available to work with you to create a “personal mandala”. Many of my pieces are available as giclee prints in a variety of sizes. Cards are also available in 2 sizes.
Scaly Tailz is a not for profit reptile and amphibian education and rescue group. We offer free educational reptile demonstrations (schools, school events, Wonderlab, Public Libraries, Boxcar Books, and so forth). We also take in reptiles and amphibians that have been abandoned, as well as those that just need a new loving home. If it is an animal we are unable to accept (venomous, crocodilians, iguanas, extremely large snakes, or reptiles that are contagious), we will refer a person to one of the other Indiana reptile rescues we work with. We never charge for our services (we do accept donations)
