I have always harbored an unyielding passion for art, fueling my decision to pursue a fine art and art history degree at the University of Cincinnati. My year long, extensive exploration of European art and architecture further enriched my understanding and appreciation of the craft. This led me to a fulfilling career selling art in various galleries in Santa Monica, California and ultimately, to the establishment and decade long operation of my own art consulting firm. Then I found myself wanting to share my knowledge and skills with children. That desire prompted my return home to Cincinnati to earn a Master's in Art Education, which enabled a very fulfilling career of teaching art for nearly two decades. To this day, I derive immense joy from sharing my expertise and indulging in en plein air painting. The amazing places I visit always offer exquisite surprises to be captured on my canvas.
