I am an artist and teacher working with fiber, fabric, and mixed media collage. I love providing art instruction for all ages. I also teach Zentangle, a special, meditative drawing technique that focuses the mind and releases creativity. My Certified Zentangle Teacher training (2012) was made possible by a Chris Clark Fellowship award from the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. My mission is to guide others to an artFULL path.

Free College Day on April 6th

I participated in Washtenaw Community College’s “Free College Day” that provided a vast array of interesting presentations and classes, 9:30AM-1:30PM. I offered an Introduction to Zentangle class for WCC students, staff, and community members. We had so much fun and it was a fantastic class of 33 students! They did a fine job of jumping into Zentangle!! THANKS to WCC for hosting a wonderful event!

  • The community got a taste of what classes at Washtenaw Community College are like April 6 during Free College Day. The sessions ranged from learning the art form Zentangle, to robotics, to skilled trades to many other topics. Free College Day is held biannually Ð once in the spring and another in the fall.

I enjoyed a super class on Saturday at the Huron Valley Council for the Arts https://www.facebook.com/huronvalleycouncilforthearts/videos/292786194735480/ !!  Mary Bajcz demonstrated numerous imaginative ways to incorporate cutting/drawing with your rotary cutter to create shapes and lines. It was a terrific, inspiring class and we had lots of fun clippin’ and sewin’! This was the first time I attended a workshop at HVCA and it is a terrific facility.

My friend Barb Shipman and I hosted a productive afternoon at the Delta Township District Library on the 22nd! Several women joined us to volunteer and create 300 bags to donated to “Helping Women Period.” These cosmetic bags are distributed in the Lansing area loaded with sanitary napkins or tampons for low income or homeless women. Co-Director Amy Stephenson joined us for the fun and spoke briefly to the group about how HWP got started. THANKS TO ALL who participated!!
