As an artist, I continually enjoy exploring and learning about different media and techniques. I am a retired (June 2022) art educator and served the Waterbury Public School District of Connecticut for 35 years. I create my artwork in group series as well as in individual pieces that stand alone. My medium of choice includes soft pastel, oil paint stick, acrylic, and mixed media. My creative inspiration draws upon the personal connections I have with nature, my culture, and the people in my life.
