It is difficult when spelling and grammar are a challenge. I can help. My background includes creating poetry in my teens and newspaper articles as an adult.

The task of working with words can be faced with fear - or excitement. Yes, it is scary to face a writing assignment. However, with a little bit of planning and courage, words can appear. It is difficult when spelling and grammar are a challenge. I can help. My background includes creating poetry in my teens and newspaper articles as an adult. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Pennsylvania, and completed graduate coursework in Communication (Drexel University). I have had some classroom experience as a substitute teacher, and look forward to communicating with you.

Art is a form of communication. Drawing and painting are ways to express your view of the world. I have worked with oils, acrylics, pastels, colored pencil, and watercolor. My art has appeared in several juried shows, has been published in a local directory, and I received a commission to produce illustrations for medical use. Let me help you express your creativity.

Drawing

I have enjoyed creating art for many years, and understand that a good drawing is an essential foundation for any painting. There is drama in a good drawing. Some of my drawings have been displayed in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. I have to attribute my love of art to my parents, who were both professional artists.

I have created artworks for many years, and have sold various pieces. At one time, I was a member of the Guild of Nature Artists (an affiliate of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History). My work has been accepted and appeared in several local art shows.
