Two experiences changed the direction of my life:
a nasty hand injury convinced the doctors I would never
perform again on the piano or organ. For years I took
painting lessons from a Stanford Professor in exchange
for teaching his child piano. I regained the use of
my hand through many hours of excercise and am still
performing professionally today. I couldn’t give up
the painting, however and went on to have several one
woman shows in California with my oil paintings, mosaic,
and stained glass work at the Cellini Gallery and the
Lucien Labaudt Gallery in San Francisco, in Sausalito,
and two different shows at Stanford University. I studied
Picture Book Illustration with Thacher Hurd, currently
edit a college literary publication and teach Writing
for Fun and Profit and Writing a Book at Chabot College.
