Life as a Surface Pattern Designer in Retirement
Exploring a new career path creating art that brings joy and beauty to the world.
After many years nurturing the creative minds of our students as an art educator, I have taken another path which started with me pouring into myself. In February 2026 I signed up for my first instructional class in Surface Pattern Design.
I am excited and humbled in this stage of learning something so technically challenging and new. Follow along and share the peaks and valleys involved in being a practicing artist who shares as they grow.
