The Arts have been my lifelong passion.  After receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Illinois, I studied Copper Enameling with Richard Loving at the Art Institute of Chicago.  A Masters Degree in Fine Arts from Northwestern University in 1978 completed my formal training.  I have also acted and directed professionally and have been a member of Actors' Equity Association, the Screen Actors Guild, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.

While my two sons were growing up, I lived in Evanston, Illinois; I worked as an account executive in advertising and marketing.  I then taught Art at Columbia College and at the International Academy of Design in Chicago.

Since moving to Tucson, Arizona, in 2000, I have been teaching Art, Theatre, and Yoga at Pima College.  Through my company, Wellness Works!, I have given Stress Reduction Seminars at businesses in Tucson.
