I am an experienced instructor. I taught for seven years for the West Contra Costa School district and after moving to the Auburn area taught for the Auburn High School District. I have taken that work experience with me into my art career and have been teaching Fiber/Textile Art classes for the last ten years. I love sharing my experience with others and seeing the beautiful work they create.

Imagine being fully inspired and receptive to the healing powers of nature in the former home of the Maidu Indians. You are enjoying a week expanding your creativity and making art.
You are surrounded by other creative adults who are giving themselves the gift of time. No shopping, cooking or cleaning to worry about; you need not even get in your car to drive anywhere.
Classes meet along the sparkling Spanish Creek or nearby, in the midst of the fragrance of oak and pine trees and a profusion of wildflowers.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a professional artist, Art Camp provides an opportunity to refine your skills, pick up new ideas or mediums, and benefit from the expertise, support and enthusiasm of both instructors and other participants.
