I graduated from college in 1971. I majored in a English Lit and French. After I started my career teaching, I got my M. Ed. And Sp.ED degrees in Reading and became certified as a Reading Specialist. I taught for 35 years, mostly middle school. I have three children and five grandchildren. ❤️ Teaching was my profession, art is my obsession I started painting in 2013. That was the same year I totally lost my vision in my right eye, and almost lost vision in my left eye. Scary times. I paint, I guess because I’ve never really good at expressing myself with words. Most people would consider me an outsider artist...I am not a trained artist. I sell my art on line...usually thru eBay. My art is affordable and fun.
