Hi,

For years I've done art in spurts here and there. Additionally I've taught art and computer science at a HS for 20 years. I've finally retired this year to care for and to enjoy life with my husband.

I also have a plan for me: focus on being creative.

I am a pretty good artist. I've sold several art works, sculptured pottery, and graphic art pieces over the years. If I keep creating art works, I'll improve my skills and be a better artist for it. I also like to write, so I am working on my first novel!

So, I believe I've launched my second career!

For all of you out there, I look forward to hearing what you have to say. I always welcome other points of view, helpful hints, guidance... critiques of my work.
