I am an artist/crafter with an insatiable desire to learn more. Over the years I have worked with various mediums including wood carving, digital photography, jewelry making with copper and fused glass, pencil drawing, digital design, and fabric crafts, such as sewing, crocheting, and weaving. Now I design digital files for cutting machines and clothing items, such as t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies. I am also a higher education professional with 30 years of experience in various college settings.
This site combines my academic interests revolving around creativity with my experiences as an artist and crafter. In my blog I hope to spark discussion and ideas about creativity, learning theory, and breaking barriers.
