After college I went to business in NYC making money for artists and creators working first as a secretary, then as a marketing and licensing Agent eventually running my own small company. Working for creatives at every level, I longed to become one myself .

A substitute Art Teacher job opened up in the Bronxville High School. With delight I told the students - You CAN be an Artist! Go for it. And, many of them did. I was a business woman with a passion for painting and a suburban mom with two amazing daughters actualizing my dream of becoming a designer.

Another decade (or two) passed and there is time to design paintings and to design products to enhance home spaces. Today I am a granny with a messy studio and a big smile.

I hope you find and follow your creative paths too.
