About Me

Omaha, NE, United States
I am a drawer, painter, printmaker, art educator, children's book publishing company co-founder (www.gorillapress.com) and published illustrator. I received a B.A. in Studio Art from Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA, a M.S. in Art and Design Education from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and a M.F.A. in Drawing and Painting from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in Lincoln, NE. My passion for art has taken me all over the United States and to other parts of the world. I am currently a full-time artist and visual art teacher for the Westside Community Schools, a diverse public school district in Omaha, Nebraska. As an experienced artist, I would welcome opportunities for freelance and commissioned work and for sharing my art in public, corporate and private settings. Please contact me for more information about my work.

2 Upcoming Student Art Shows, March & April 2010

I'm currently working on two all-school student art shows for the Westside Community Schools. The opening for the first show is 6:00-7:30pm on March 25th at Prairie Lane Elementary (114th & Hascall St). The opening for the second show is 6:00-7:30pm at Westgate Elementary (78th & Hascall St). The artworks will be up for at least a month following the openings. Ice cream will be served at both openings, and the shows are accessible and free to the public!
