About Me:

I teach art at a smallish private school in Charleston WV, but I also do art of my own. I have artistic ADHD and have a difficult time choosing a favorite medium, but lately I have been getting more into oil painting and collage (altered books, artist trading cards, and the like.) I am also a wife and mother and have 4 awesome kids.
