About Me

I have always been interested in creativity...creating things myself has always been a part of my life. As a young child I drew and painted and played with clay always encouraged by my parents. In kindergarten, I first learned about creating the "right way", the inner and outer critic...HOWEVER, this really never stopped me! While I have had lapses when doing the creative thing was very much in the background, this creative spirit has always been something I have returned to like an old very reliable friend. It is my comfort zone.

I studied art in school and became discouraged by the process at some point while getting a degree in teaching, I never envisioned I could actually facilitate and encourage the creative spirit in others...altho' I really knew that is what I wanted to do, I never found the right "vehicle"...

I travelled far and wide as a flight attendant, finally settling down to marry and have a family. As a mom, I found I could easily use my mom role as an excuse to be silly and creative! This eventually evolved into many creative pursuits, as I moved from drawing and painting to clay to collage.

And now I have come full circle, back to the original teaching role, now facilitating and encouraging creativity as well as fully immersing myself in the creative stew.
