Prior to my semi-retirement, the work I did for a living focused on helping others. I began as a social work professional, primarily in elder care, and finished my full-time working life after a dozen years as the senior grant writer for a community health system. In my after-work hours I engaged in painting, ceramics, journaling and numerous other creative endeavors.

Recently I have had the opportunity to blend my artistic nature with my calling to serve others. Whether through color, patterns, symbols, fibers, earthen materials such as clay and stones, images, writings, visions, and dreams, I hope to encourage spiritual growth and healing through the infinite variety of art and craft mediums available to us.
