From my early childhood I have loved to draw, paint, and explore a variety of crafts. I studied art at San Francisco City College, San Francisco State College, Roosevelt University in Chicago, and California College of Arts and Crafts. I’ve taught arts and craft classes to children and adults and developed and led many workshops for early childhood educators which emphasize free expression and experimentation. The recurring theme in my work is interconnectedness.

I have been married to Dave Fromer for 54 years. We are immensely grateful for our close, loving, and creative family – our son, Reed, daughter, Rachel, our magnificent grandchildren, great grandchildren, and extended family and friends.
