I am an artist & a hooper. Been hooping (I teach it too) since 2009, been an artist always.

I grew up an Air Force Brat & lived all over the country as well as in Korea.
I recently moved from Colorado Springs, my home. Somehow, I've ended up in Chicagoland. At least for the time being.

I studied graphic design & photography, worked as a graphic designer, then spent many years doing fine craft shows (with jewelry mostly, but occasionally with paintings & sculpture) & selling to galleries all over the US as well as a few in Europe & Mexico. Nowadays....not so much, due to health issues which include daily headaches & lyme disease.

My husband is Andy Vick, who is the executive director of the
Downtown Evanston business district.

Our Loft has been featured on HGTV (Offbeat America), as well as in a
few magazines.

We then moved to a 
house in LaVale, Maryland. I made that into a wacky place to live too. Now we live in Colorado Springs in a great 70's house. It has also been featured in a magazine.
