Biography:
I re-discovered my passion for art as an educator within an art-integrated
school setting in Palm Beach County. In the second half of my career in
education, I became a school counselor and began using the arts as a
potent form of student self-expression. I bring 30 years of hands-on
experience using a multitude of art mediums, but my passion is working
with and creating fused glass pieces.
Outside of the school setting, I explored and formally studied the
techniques of fused glass. I studied and developed my craft at The Craft
Gallery and at the Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach. I’ve been
creating fused glass art pieces since 2010 and have taught classes in West
Palm Beach and Leesburg, FL; as well as in Newland, NC.
