Artist. Educator. Feminist.

I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember. My first “canvas” was my bedroom wall in 1975. (Thanks, Mom and Dad.)

​

The Ladder Years

I ran a decorative painting business, climbed more ladders than I can count, and eventually moved into teaching. Seniors, kids, adults, total skeptics. I’ve taught them all. And yes, I still believe everyone can paint.

​

Going Back

After my divorce I went back to school and finished my art degree.
The timing was perfect. It helped to deepen my practice and push my work further.

​

Now

Today my artwork carries it all.  The ladders, the teaching, the history, the digging. It’s layered in every piece.

​

For Fem Sake

In 2025 I launched For Fem Sake, a streetwear line built from my artwork and my voice.
It’s me, just louder.
