Nice to Meet You!
Are you doing what you love in life? I teach art to children and have been doing that for over 30 years and love it. I have created a very special place to teach called, The Artist Garden. It is a lovely flower-filled spot where I can help my little artists grow. I specialize in drawing for children.
I also am a graphic designer and author. I love writing jokes!
One of my first published books was 102 Art Jokes for You.
Learning is a lot more fun when you are laughing too. I enjoy teaching about art history and all the wonderful kinds of artists that have left their influence. I like to make learning about artists for very young children entertaining.
​
Also check out my mystery books in the Mysteries with Tanzi series! Tanzi is that creative artistic girl who loves her fluffy- earred Papillon rescue dog, gemstone jewelry and sleuthing around her new beach town downtown with new friends.
​
Please check out my new books as I write them. I have so many in the works--mysteries AND new art book collection stories. If you subscribe in the green oval above, or this one below with your email, I can keep you posted. Thanks for your time to meet me on my website.
Let's keep in touch!
