Our differences shouldn’t divide us, they should bring us together to make new things, to fully engage in solving real problems, to discover the wonder of life and the joy of love.
I am a 30-year educator specializing in project-based learning. I am also a certified End-of -Life Doula who assists the dying and their loved ones to transition and mourn with grace and creativity. I am a poet and a painter. I paint pictures of life with my poems and tell stories of people with my paintings. The gift of creativity is what makes us uniquely human. I live in Taos, New Mexico and was born and raised in Wisconsin. I offer services for teachers and school administrators in project-based learning and my books and art are for sale.

Experience
My 30-year career in education includes teaching English and Drama, and leading and founding independent schools. Much of my work was as a turnaround head to struggling schools. In 2008, I authored Your Child's Strengths (Viking/Penguin). This book won two Nautalis Book Awards and a Mom's Choice Award. It is published in 8 languages and sold internationally. In 2010, I co-authored The Differentiated Instruction Book of Lists (Jossey-Bass). In 2013, I founded The Delta School in Wilson , AR, a progressive project-based learning school. My next book, My West, is collection of poems to be be published by Quillkeepers Press in May, 2023. Throughout COVID, I painted over 500 watercolor portraits and figurative illustrations. These works have appeared on the covers and in literary and arts journals as well as being chosen to appear in juried shows in the United States. My online gallery, Small Works for Small Spaces is regularly updated with new works for sale. In 2022, having moved to Taos, NM full-time, I became a certified End-of Life doula. No doubt, my interests are varied but they all point to one theme—creativity is a lifetime pursuit that happens in many forms. I am happy to share these forms with the world.
