Bio

Being creative comes naturally to me and makes me happy! I’m also gifted at making flower arrangements and I love going to people’s homes to do interior redesign and feng shui. I consider myself a healer and artist because I’ve been a massage practitioner for many years. My dad’s father built a home just a block from the Goodman Community Center and I too, grew up on the east side. My dad was extremely artistic and I’m grateful for the inspiration I received from him. I was 52 when I began painting with watercolor, then acrylic, then alcohol ink. I’ve sold numerous paintings, which was surprising and fun.

A reception will be held in Ironworks, 149 Waubesa St., Tuesday, Aug. 8 from 5:30-8 p.m.
