Places I've been
I wish I could say that I have traveled around the world. Alas that is not the case, save the armchair on which I have been many amazing places. However, I have been to several of our United States, Canada, and am blessed to have seen Israel twice.

More about me

I have a PhD in the school of hard-knocks. Surviving this, I pulled myself up by the bootstraps. At 41 I began taking classes at Georgia State, working all day...taking classes all night....Eventually, I took the big step to become a student full time. I graduated at 51 in 2001 with honors, and teach Art at Garden Hills Elementary. I am blessed to be married for 31 years to Bruce. He is my soul mate and the other half of my beating heart. We have 2 sons Matthew who is 42 and Joshua who is 36. Matt and Robin have Mary our granddaughter. In our house the cats rule and we are their staff. I enjoy teaching art to kids, but want to do more of my own art. Mostly, I am a survivor and, as the late MFK Fisher said, "I live with carpe diem engraved on my heart."

    LOL, . . Teaching art is what I thought I wanted to do . . In 1953-53 I did a year of it in Hawthorne, Nevada, did not sign a contract for a second year. Instead, I went to work the summer following as a heat treat operater at ALCOA, roasting rivets over firy furnaces, and loved it. Three months later there was a massive lay-off, ending a short, but brief, career. . . . Next it was 9 months as a building illustrator at Northrop in El Segundo. . . . After that it was a career of elementary school teaching including art as well as everything else. I loved it!

    I admire you for what you do! . . . Keep having fun!
