Growing up in Philly, I enjoyed learning, art, the natural world, travel, and especially working with children. I attended Temple University (BA '67, M.Ed'69) and loved teaching science at the Upper Moreland Middle School, until retiring in 2003. My passion was Biology and sharing the amazing, gross, and disgusting Wonders of Life.

As an avid gardener, I use flowers, as well as photos from travels for subjects of my vibrant watercolor paintings.

As the editor/creator of the newsletter for Hatboro's Gardeners of the Crooked Billet, I share my gardening tips, photos, and group activities with our membership and other interested gardeners across the country.
