I have been creating art since I was a child of the 1940's in rural North Carolina. Attended art school in Richmond, Virginia, San Francisco Art Institute, and UC Berkeley Extension.
• Juried into the Sonoma Collage Collective in 2000. Participant in Collective's exhibitions.
• Selected into more than 50 juried shows, have won numerous local, national and international awards, and am in private collections on both U.S.coasts and in Europe.
• Juried into the Arts Guild of Sonoma in 2003. Exhibit with the other Guild members on a regular basis.
• Created and taught collage workshops.
• Several of my collages, along with an interview, have been published along with eight other collage artists in a book, Living Into Art, published by Paper Lantern Press. Requested by the Sonoma Museum of Art to contribute a piece for a cook book, Sonoma Palette, published by the museum.
