Biography
I am from Whitefish Bay a north shore suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; on beautiful Lake Michigan. My previous teaching experience includes Summer Art Classes at the Milwaukee Art Museum; Milwaukee German Immersion School; High Mount Elementary, Mil., WI; and Maple Dale Middle School, Mil., WI.
I have an undergraduate degree, BFA in studio arts: drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, fibers, and graphic arts. I have a Masters in Visual Arts and did my thesis in digital imaging with an emphasis on the art of serigraphy. My art has a global influence; capturing a sense of place and culture. I also enjoy painting large scale murals.
