(continued...)  I learn and develop projects by experimenting with what I experience in giving and taking classes and workshops and most importantly in sharing art play time with some very special friends and my daughter Christine. Very soon my new studio will be completed at my home in the beautiful Applegate Valley area of Southern Oregon.  Teaching locally and nationally inspires and challenges me to keep diving into the seemingly endless ways to create with paper. For my private enjoyment I paint abstract paintings with acrylics and canoe on wilderness rivers in Canada and the states with my husband.
