Interests

I live to create.  My studio has everything from alcohol ink, acrylics, and encaustic paints to glass rods and plate glass to clay.  I work with molten glass, I throw pottery on a wheel and use slabs to alter it.  I draw (still learning) and I practice the art of zentangle.  I teach all of the above and when I'm not in the studio creating, or in someone else's studio teaching, I'm looking for somewhere to travel or I'm off fishing or riding my bicycle.  I love photography.
