After a long busy career, I am retired. Finally I have time to really pursue my interests in painting, drawing, exploring wire sculpture, jewelry and experimenting with fused glass. The natural world is my creative inspiration. This beauty surrounds us and is an incredible resource.
As a graphic designer/art director I worked with "industrial" clients such as Quantum Data video signal generators, Belden wire and cable, Lindberg heat treating equip, Koehring cranes and excavators, Ceco Steel and many others. I also had the great experience to be able to design and produce all promotional materials for two ConExpo International Construction Equipment shows held every 5 years.
I have an appreciation of Chicago area architecture and volunteered as a tour docent at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio for many years. I designed promotional materials for 4 Wright Plus Housewalks. This led to a position working in the tour department and eventually as head of this department. As Director of Tour Admin, I was responsible for operations of daily public, custom and specialty tours at both Home and Studio in Oak Park and Robie House in Chicago. Marketing tours and developing new tours kept me busy too.
Education: I entered the working world directly after high school and went to college classes at night. Attended American Academy of Art, took classes in specialized design at IIT and drawing and illustration at the Art Institute. AA degree in arts from Triton College.

Exhibited: Oak Park Art in the Park, Christmas at the Fine Line Creative Arts Center in St Charles and Creativity Contiuum "Alice" show at TLD.
