artist. writer. teacher
about me
I draw and paint and write and talk. I love being with children. I used to work in public radio with a specialty in parenting issues. I have been a Montessori teacher in Minnesota and New York. I was head of a Montessori school in Minneapolis. I provide speaking services, freelance illustration, and learning sessions for Montessori students of all ages.
I fill small sketchbooks and journals with my drawing and writing. I love crowded city streets and windswept mountaintops. Yellow used to be my favorite color, but right now it might be turquoise. I swim in lakes and hike on trails and paddle on rivers. I play the piano late at night. I have grown a garden and shoveled snow and cooked dinner and hosted parties and raised our children and ridden my bike in Minneapolis for 38 years.
I moved to Brooklyn in the fall of 2021. I ride my bike to the school where I teach , along the East (Hudson) River.
I am dedicated to getting out the vote and doing what I can to elect Kamala Harris.
I have a daily practice of drawing and writing.
I want to share my work with you.
