The expectations and restrictions imposed upon us by society and our self imposed standards are all competing for my attention as I create this art. My career path has taken me from artist to public school art teacher to full-time mom to running a home bakery to teacher again and finally back to myself as an artist. My art is a reflection and convergence of all my life experiences up to this very point in time. More about my work/me can be seen at piesinthewindow.comP.S.
