• After retiring from a long career as an art teacher, I’ve now
  turned my attention back to my very first love, picture book
  illustrations.  During my employment as a
  full time art teacher, I also continually worked as a studio painter.

  My paintings have been exhibited at the Cleveland Museum of
  Art, the Butler Institute of American Art, the Canton Museum of Art, the
  University of Kentucky, and the Erie Art Museum.  I have had several solo exhibitions including
  the University of Illinois in Chicago, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
  the Mansfield Art Center in Ohio, C.A.G.E. in Cincinnati, the Atrium Gallery at
  National City Bank in Cleveland, and Kenyon College in Ohio.  I’ve created site specific installations in
  Cleveland, Boston, Pittsburgh, Chicago and New York ,  and my work is included in public and private
  collections.

  I earned my BFA at Ohio University with a dual degree in
  Painting and Art Education.  My Masters
  degree is in Education.

  I’m very eagerly looking forward to entering this new
  chapter in my life, creating wordless picture books!
