I studied at San Jose State University. Beyond getting married and raising a family – I studied at the College of Marin for many years. With many other students under Kent Rupp’s tutelege, we formed a group that exhibited in numerous venues and eventually formed what is now MarinMOCA. I have been teaching “The Portrait and the Figure” class at MarinMOCA for the past 20 or so years. I have also been teaching at the Novato Unified School Districts 4th and 5th grades under MarinMOCA’s Arts Enrichment Program.
