I’m 68 now. I was born and raised in Stockton, CA. I have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.  Having studied art across the nation, including a study abroad in Florence, Italy and The Art Students League in NYC. I started my own art school in 1998. It shut down after covid and started back up at a new and grander studio I created. More than 115 children a week come to my classes. I’m thrilled that God has been with me the whole time and blesses us all with inspiration and creativity.
