A native of Miami, Florida, my life-long connection with the natural environment began at an early age while exploring coastal waters and mangrove forests near my home.
A passion for art was later set in motion at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas where I studied painting, drawing, art history and sculpture, completing a BFA in 1984. For many years since then I have worked as an artist, illustrator, science writer and educator.
Fascination with hand papermaking processes led me to complete an MFA in Book Arts at the University of Iowa [2016] with a focus on Japanese-style papermaking, along with the history, traditions, and the spiritual/ healing aspects of the practice.
