About Me

I am an artist, color consultant, educator, speaker and author of Paint Happy! I design color palettes for buildings and businesses, illustrate kids books and exhibit paintings. I love sports and am also the web goddess for my family's StandUpPaddleFlatwater.com and StrideSteady.com sites and blogs when I am not creating something, skiing, paddling or windsurfing.
