I am an artist maker who enjoys developing ideas through various medium. I have spent nearly 45 years joyfully exploring my creative flow; much of that time as an educator. I am a storyteller, mask maker, dollcrafter, tile maker, poet and writer. I play with sourdough and develop recipes for nightshade free seasonings and meals, whole grains and beautiful biscuits, and I am once again taking up the practice of seed saving.

I founded Green Dove Peace Network featuring peace resources, arts and poetry from around the world. I spent a great amount of time with its projects, the Indiana Holistic Health Network and Local Food Bloomington. I am a program and event planner, designer and workshop educator host for the Council of All Beings; peace poetry program host and local foods advocate.

Creativity is one of my greatest assets and diversified tool, finding its way into every aspect of my existance. I create and research for projects, and to satisfy the call of my muses; of which there are many.

My art persuits goes hand in hand with my continued studies of vibrational arts, including Reiki, Reconnective Healing, Hooponopono , Zen Dance, Self-Creative Happiness and Creativity Facilitator.

I love finding my way from idea through process; to my understanding of the heart expression of an idea. And I love each opportunity I have that allows me to support others in their creative expression and adventures. I also love, love, love, how my art process supports me through the variances of wellness due to living with a Rare Genetic Disorder. This tool box of wellness arts provides me with many tools to support others along their creative wellness journey.

My efforts, whether in clay, paper or paint, word, food or fiber, sustain me as I make my wonky pleated way. I am Creatively Being.
