I've recently reconnected with my art making and yoga practice roots. I appreciate discovering more about my unconscious self and how to express and live out my dreams which can happen when I participate in retreats, workshops, healing sessions, conversations, yoga classes, journaling, and meditations. I find joy and get creative ideas in places where I sense gentle energy flows in safe and supported environments that allow for personal understanding and growth. I focus on mindfulness and/or awareness whenever I'm enjoying nature, cooking, cycling, listening to music, gathering with friends, or simply being. My background is in studio art with some science education, graphic design, and media and communication. I am a professor emeritus at Salem State University following 21 years of teaching there full time. I work in a studio space in my home when I'm not at yoga class or playing, drawing, sightseeing, or exploring elsewhere.
