I have been involved with art most of my life and one of my earliest
\nmemories is getting a Jon Nagy drawing set as a gift. I have an art degree
\nand taught art in the public school system for seven years. Feeling
\nunsatisfied, I changed my interest and pursued art therapy education and
\npractice. While raising my children I had a home based business making and
\nselling hand thrown Folk Art pottery. This followed with a career in
\nActivity management in long term care facilities.<\/p>\n

In 2008, I returned to art and began lessons using watercolor medium. I
\nfell in love with the color, the loose intermingling on paper creating
\nexciting accidents and textures, layers and fusions of color. I prefer
\nworking on hot press paper and recently, yupo-which is not a paper at all,
\nbut a surface of excitement.<\/p>\n

I have studied with local and national instructors and continue that
\nprocess. I also teach a process oriented \u00a0watercolor class in Northern NJ.
\nI continue to learn and practice and experiment in pursuit of the excitement
\nthe media offers. My subjects are very personal \u00a0stories of importance on my
\njourney to greater self \u00a0awareness and skill development.<\/p>\n
