If we're lucky, we do work that fulfills needs we have, aswell as provide something of value to others! Creativity has always been a vital element in my work life. From my early work in theater, the non-profitsector, to leading a chamber of commerce and a consultant, creativity has played a big role. Now I’m circling back to my roots! I currently work part time as an actor,frequently as a standardized patient working with medical students on communication skills and practicing exams. (It is a wonderful gig!) And most recently, I put my energy into creating art.

Anchoring it all is my 45 year marriage to Greg. We've raised threewonderful people who are thriving out in the world, and expanding our family with partners, spouses and grandchildren.

I've often said I enjoy being a mirror out in the world, reflecting back to people the good I see in them. I love reminding people of the value they have and how much they contribute. I have spent a lot of my professional life helping people use their best qualities to build meaningful relationships in their businesses.

Art is a reflection as well, of course!If my artwork makes you happy, remember that you're seeing a bit of yourself in what I created. Maybe you feel vibrant, or at peace, or energized, quirky, or funny or wistful...what ever you feel when you see it is a part of YOU. Enjoy. You make the world a better place.

There are lots of people I would like to thank - first and foremost my family - Greg, Nick, Tony, Joan, Nikki, Cassie, Amanda, Harper, Audrey, Ted, my brothers Joe, Marty, and John for supporting me always.

Some stand out thanks - for artistic advice and encouragement: Joan Pohlman, Steve McInturff, Carol Bates, Bob Dombrowski, Dawna Ellis, Judy Greiner Goskey, Kimetta Davis, Evie Zimmer and Lauren Herzak-Bauman.

For business therapy: Diane Helbig and the Business Opportunity Network members.

For bestie-super-fan vibes in social media: all of the folks above AND Karen Schaefer, Pamara O'Connell, Lenny Carlsen, Jan Wolf, Chris Vartorella, Marcy Imperi, Melody Obery, Angela Kosie, Jane Wallace Duncan, Kathie Dice, Theresa Catterall and many more.
