Art and imagination have been central to my life since I was a child. I was born in Brooklyn, New York and came to Cleveland for a Masters in Social Work but never lost the passion for creativity. In the 70s I exhibited textiles, collages and assemblages and then my life took a different path when I co-founded Creativity for Kids and spent the next 45 years building the company into an internationally recognized brand.

More recently I rediscovered the joy of exploring, experimenting and doing art as well as the challenge of learning new techniques and crafts. In addition to altered books, I love to do free-form embroidery and textiles and am learning to draw with the Friday Drawing Group.
