I began drawing & painting at the age of 18 months with Stick Figures in White Chalk on Mommy's beautiful kidney-shaped mahogany end table.
What?After that, I had academic training in art and art education and spent subsequent years substitute teaching.
I've been working as a floral designer and wedding specialist for neighborhood and upscale local florists for over 20 years
and
have been designing and producing one-of-a-kind gemstone, metal & mixed media jewelry and accessories as well as drawing & painting.
The Cleveland Institute of Art and Kent State University, respectively, and working in and around Cleveland, Ohio.
When?From way back when until now, you've heard the history.
Why?It's a mystery.
How?Painting, designing & crafting seriously & painstakingly, but not without a sense of humor!
