Hi! I am not an Arizona native but I moved here in 2013 and love the sunshine and desert beauty. I am originally from Michigan which has a very different climate, brrrrrrrr. I love my Michigan sports and especially my Detroit Lions! I have two daughters age 18 and 16 years old and two dogs. I am a proud Army Veteran who served four years of active duty. I love doing all types of art and especially learning new mixed mediums. I am currently loving Alcohol Ink and make all types of jewelry, etc. My love of art and working with children led me to become an Elementary School Art Teacher. This school year 2021-2022 is my third year teaching and teaching her at Esperanza Elementary.
