Introduction	I blend my long career as a counselor with my passion for art. Visual art was my first love as a child. Eventually this gave way to theater, then to my work as a counselor and raising children. I rediscovered my desire to make art after my first trip to Italy. I taught myself to paint and create mixed media work in my forties, earning me the right to insist that it is never too late to delve into what inspires us. One of my great joys is to provide an atmosphere where you can discover or rekindle your own creative abilities.
