Various experiences with art and poetry have only recently emerged. Self-taught in the harp, trained as an actor and dancer and having earned a Master's degree in education, I have taught at the elementary level for nine years in French immersion. This rich experience has become a launching point from which an appreciation for artistic self-expression has developed.
My contributions in teaching theatre and French language arts have kept me closely connected to a vibrant community of expressive learners and I believe that every opportunity to share our expertise connects us to an even larger circle of the creative world. However, a recent self-discovery in poetry has given me new direction and focus on my writing goals. Please also visit my Etsy shop to see my greeting cards with my original illustrations.
