Career Summary

After 25 years as a Creative Director for many, advertising agencies & national corporations, I returned to my love of art by pursuing joy-giving act of creating sculpture and jewelry. I have studied art, fine craft and coached creativity for over 15 years. 

To share art more fully as a wellness component, I have obtained a Graduate Certificate in Creative Expression from ITP. Palo Alto, CA. I am in the process of opening a creative expression workshop and teaching facility named FireBrand Studios, in Prescott, AZ
