I am a professional artist, award-winning writer and author of Star Child: A Mother’s Journey Through Grief. My essays have appeared in Grief Digest and Living With Loss magazines. I maintain a working art studio in San Antonio, Texas. I am a member of the San Antonio Art League and The Writer’s League of Texas.
Through my own personal journey, I have found expressive arts to be a healing pathway. Initially, this came in the form of writing and has expanded to include photography and collage.
I have studied at the Southwest School of Art, Gemini Ink, and The Longridge Writer’s Group. My work is currently carried in galleries and boutiques in Texas. I live in San Antonio, Texas, with my husband John.
