Bio:
I was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas. After concentrating in the arts in high school, I took the path into education for my bachelors degree at Baker University and my masters at Fort Hays State. Leaving the state for a doctoral program in Community College Leadership at the University of Texas at Austin, I then spent twenty years as a community college dean in Texas and Missouri before returning to Manhattan for retirement. I soon joined the local Water Media Group and immersed myself in learning how to paint with watercolors always searching for a way to express my love for the Flint Hills and its illusive beauty.
