The Arts are 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 arts education. 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.

We lived in Evanston, Illinois, while my two sons were growing up; I was an account executive in advertising and film. During the 1990’s I taught art and humanities 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 and have been leading seminars on stress reduction. My copper enameling art continues to be my life’s passion.

Some of the finest galleries in the country represent my copper enamel compositions:
