Taught art for 17 years, originally from Lawrence, KS (Go Jayhawks!) but living in Asia first for 7 yrs teaching art in the international school circuit and in East Africa for 3 yrs teaching art and design. Passionate about creativity, people, my two cats- Astrid & Pizza (who are international felines I might add), and experiencing new cultures. Oh and I am a textile designer having jumped back into creating pieces once again!
