Painting
Painting is an emotional, messy process of instantaneous problem-solving coupled with a lot of handwringing and handwashing.
What's New? Currently my work is on exhibit in the Frames Unlimited Tiny Show in Bloomfield, MI, the Barn Show in Grand Rapids, MI, the Grand Valley Artists gallery, and AllArtWorks online gallery.

What's New? Need a fresh approach to creativity? Consider attending the Kalamazoo Poetry Festival and taking my workshop. Also, I finished my novel, Waffle House, and am busy querying agents. Fingers crossed!

When I perform, I discover characters hiding inside of me and learn from them. I'm grateful to all the improvisers, writers, and performers who've allowed me such a range of experiences on stages, in films, and more.
What's New? I recently performed in M is for Music with the Lima Symphony Orchestra. In December 2021, I'm performing in The Miracle of Chanukah at Jewish Theater Grand Rapids.

I still work with corporations. Now, I'm sharing my methods as a multi-disciplinary artist integrating improvisation with painters, writers, and performers in workshops, coaching, and on my blog. Besides updates on offerings, you'll read musings on creativity, see a sketchbook of ideas, and become a comrade in thwarting chaos.
