Welcome, and thank you for visiting.  This site is a showcase of the results of the work I’ve done over the years as a therapeutic artist working with people of all abilities, disabilities, stages of life, and challenges.   As a visual artist, art coach, and health professional, I have come to appreciate the role that the creative arts play in helping people open up to all possibilities whether they be internal or external. These experiences have profound effects on the physical and mental health of those who allow themselves the freedom to engage, explore, and create.

Because I believe in Art as a metaphor, Art as a release, Art as meaning, and Art as an alternative to words, I am committed to helping others benefit from such expression and process.  Having worked as an Artist-in-Residence in grade schools, middle schools, high schools, hospitals, and cancer centers, I have met my own challenges of figuring out how to engage the reluctant, the resistant, the physically disabled, the isolated, and the overextended.

Necessity being the mother of invention, I have developed a number of novel art forms that seem to have met such challenges, with such success that I’ve been compelled to share them.  Please enter my site and check it out.  Thank you
