I am an artist, educator and environmental conservationist. Preserving and connecting with nature is my calling. As the creator of "stewARTship studios", I incorporate art to stewardship by using the written word and various fine art forms as a means for my students to build enduring connections to Self and Earth.

My undergraduate degree is in Political Science/Pre-Law from a small liberal arts college in northwestern PA.  I earned my Master Degree, in environmental law, from Vermont Law School - a great school in the small village of South Royalton. My career in environmental planning, conservation and education has spanned two decades. I have worked in both the public and private sectors directing hazardous waste abatement operations, pollution prevention activities, policy and procedural development, watershed planning and all related education and outreach. I am also adjunct faculty at a local campus of the University of Pittsburgh where I offer courses in Governance & Leadership of Non-profit Organizations, Environmental Politics, and Grant Writing. Throughout my entire career, I have always tried to incorporate my art to my work. Now that I am self-employed through "stewARTship studios" (a creation brought about through a collision of my right and left brain functions), I can get as creative or as analytic as I like linking my two great loves - nature and art.  Finally, I am a life-long, self-taught student/observer of world religions and spirituality.  I tend toward pantheism, as is evident in my writing, and am very interested in ecopsychology.

Personally, I have been happily and gratefully married to my husband for nineteen years.  I am the very proud mother of one incredibly beautiful (inside and out) daughter who has taught me more about life than anyone I have ever known.

PLEASE DO NOT COPY/USE MY MATERIAL WITHOUT MY EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT.  I RETAIN EXCLUSIVE COPYRIGHTS.  THANK YOU.
