Joyful Art for the Soul! After retirement from teaching Kindergarten, I followed my creative heart! I bravely made the step of taking several art classes. I have found my PASSION. Mixed Media Art! I believe teaching Kindergarten has helped me to see the world as a 5 year old. It has helped me to work intuitively and to know that there are NO mistakes! I am drawn to using symbols and childlike marks in my work. I am embracing what I love. I am living my life with faith, love, joy and the heart of a 5 year old!
