biography

I was born and raised in Hamilton, Ohio. I grew up a tree climbing, mud pie making, portrait drawing tomboy. I evolved into sculptor and art educator after a jaunt through motherhood with five rambunctious children. I now exhibit my artwork in galleries and juried competitions on a national level and I sell my artwork via online venues. I hold a BFA in Sculpture and Painting, MFA in Sculpture, and MA in Art Education from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I received the Lilly Endowment for Teacher Creativity in 2012 and 2020. I reside in a charming cottage nestled into five acres of Indiana woodlands near Brookville Lake. ​
