I AM A FULL TIME GRADUATE STUDENT WORKING AT OBTAINING MY MASTERS DEGREE IN FINE ART, (AN M.F.A) AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO. AS AN UNDERGRADUATE I SPECIALIZED IN PRINTMAKING (PRIMARILY ETCHING), PAINTING, AND DRAWING. NOW IT SEEMS I HAVE MOVED ON TO MIXED MEDIA PIECES AND ARTIST BOOKS. I HAVE WON SEVERAL AWARDS, AND HAVE EXHIBITED IN SEVERAL SHOWS, SUCH AS THE 20TH ANNUAL PARKSIDE PRINT SHOW, THE IDAHO WATERCOLOR SOCIETY SHOWS, AS WELL AS WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER PRINTMAKERS ON CREATING A BOOK IN TRIBUTE TO THE VICTIMS OF 9/11. THIS BOOK HAS NOW BEEN PUBLISHED AND FEATURES THE WORK OF PRINTMAKERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE. I WAS AN OFFICER IN THE FINE ARTS CLUB, A CURRENT MEMBER OF THE IDAHO WATERCOLOR SOCIETY, AS WELL AS MEMBER OF THE ACEO AND PRINTMAKERS CLUBS ON EBAY. I HAVE PAINTNGS, DRAWINGS AND PRINTS IN COLLECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, EUROPE, AND AUSTRALIA. I ALSO WORK WITH STAINED GLASS (USING ALL ORIGINAL DESIGNS), FUSED GLASS, AND METAL SMITHING/JEWELRY. I ALSO DO COMMISSIONS WHEN CALLED UPON TO DO SO!

OTHER THAN THAT I AM SOMEWHAT OF A CAR-O-HOLIC. I OWN A MINI COOPER AND BELONG TO NORTH AMERICAN MOTORING, WHICH IS AN EXCELLENT, INFORMATIVE, AND FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES. MY HUSBAND AND SON ARE AVID AIRPLANE PEOPLE. MY HUSBAND HAS TOTALLY RESTORED A 1959 CESSNA 150 STRAIGHT BACK, WHICH THEY BOTH FLY ENTHUSIASTICALLY! I FINISHED ALL MY FLIGHT TRAINING IN A PIPER ARCHER II, BUT STILL HAVE TO TAKE MY WRITTEN TEST...
