Background
I have a master's degree in fine art from Radford University where I specialized portrait painting and ceramics. After graduation, I spent several years as an art teacher and advocate for Teacher Associations in Minnesota and Maryland and later as Associate Director in the Human and Civil Rights department of the National Education Association (NEA) in Washington D.C. Upon retirement from NEA, I rekindled my love of art by making Fiber Art and Art Quilt Portraits. Many of my works represent African American experiences and historical perspectives.
