I am a retired performing & visual arts teacher who loves to travel, hear peoples stories and immerse myself in the culture.

I took a one year sabbatical and was an international volunteer At Glencree Center for Peace in Ireland. Working with women post conflict.  I developed a curriculum within the program, of Healing through Art. This was an invaluable experience and one I will never forget.

Along with creating art, my retired life finds me taking small group around the globe for travel.

Married for over 42 years, have two amazing children, who with their wonderful spouses have given me 4 incredible grandchildren.
