For more than fifty-five years, my work has explored how art can express aspects of human experience that are often difficult to put into words. Classically trained in Fine Art at the University of Colorado, I later completed a doctorate in Educational Leadership at Columbia University, developing a parallel career as an academic, researcher, and author while continuing my artistic practice.
Throughout my academic career, I taught graduate students, wrote books on qualitative research, and spent more than a decade developing innovative online learning environments. Rather than moving away from art, these experiences deepened my fascination with memory, perception, identity, and the stories people carry through life—questions that continue to shape my work today.
Now working full-time as a visual artist, I create layered digital artworks that combine photography, digital collage, and generative AI as creative partners in the exploration of people, places, and states of awareness.
