I have always created something throughout my life. While taking college classes in the last 10 years I found my love of painting and mixed media. I was working toward a liberal studies degree in art and business and then stepped away from my job because of stress.  That is when I decided to do something that I really loved. I am using what I gathered in my college classes and life and started Here’s My hART Studio. I have been married to my funny, sturdy and dependable life partner, Tom since 1980. We have two adult sons, Sam and Kevin, and as of right now 6 cats, all rescues. Please look around, visit my store, follow me on Facebook and Instagram, take one of my workshops or visit me at some juried art fair around the Midwest. I would love to see you.
