I am an Illustrator, Fine Artist and Fiber Artist. After many years in a career as a licensed counselor, I returned to my first love, Art! Soon after I began to study and become certified as an Integral Tai Chi/Qi Gong instructor, my creativity soared! My process of creating begins with my Qi gong practice, enabling me to infuse my art with an abundance of Qi! In addition to designing illustrations and surface pattern designs for childrens books, maps, puzzles, fabric and stationery products, I am also a portrait artist, and love the practice of fiber arts, in particular knitting and weaving. I see my breadth of experiences as a Counselor and Qi Gong practitioner woven throughout my Artwork.
