My passions includes animals, especially horses, dogs, and cats. I love nature, being outside walking, gardening, and exploring the woods. I also love music. When I was young I sang in our church choir. I love to read and to write poetry and picture books.
Besides participating in craft shows, I volunteer as an art facilitator at the Creative Wellness Opportunities, Mental Health Association, in Rochester, NY
Formally, I was a substitute teacher grades pK-12th,
a teaching artist at the Memorial Art Gallery, in Rochester, NY, and a volunteer groom/side-walker at the EquiCenter in Honeoye Falls, NY.
Currently, I love illustrating with Procreate.
