Since I also teach part-time I am constantly trying to find new ways and ideas to stimulate my students. Trying to introduce new experimental concepts for them to try, though now I paint primarily in oil on board we experiment in classes with various forms of printmaking, encaustics, collage, murals, reverse painting on glass and altered books.
 
Previous to the above information there were many shows and awards for painting. The painting portion of my career began in 1995 working primarily in watercolor. When I returned from living in China, I felt the scenes would be better presented in oils and started working in oils almost exclusively from about 2003. 1982 to 1995 I worked as a fiber artist creating handmade yarns and one-of-a-kind designer ware from hand dyed and/or handspun materials. My work was showcased in the American Craft Council shows during that period and pieces were purchased and traveled worldwide.
