Biography
|
|
During my forties, I stumbled into my career after my father gave me
some paints he no longer needed. While living in LA, I found a great
series of workshops at Otis College of Art and Design taught by
Franklyn Liegel. A job move with my husband and daughters in 2007
brought me to Bellevue, Washington. After earlier stints working in
health care and independent bookstore ownership, I have completed my
escape from the real world and am lucky enough to do what I love all
the time.
I have an MA and BA in English from Loyola Marymount University in Los
Angeles.
