I’ve always made things, but lost that a bit when a real job and my son entered the picture. Two years ago, there was a gunman on campus and we were in lockdown for four hours. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but I was “spun”. Shortly after, a dear friend and artist visited. I usually sit and watch her work, but this time I dove in. I was able to create something that I had control over, unlike the vicissitudes of teaching. I tentatively sold at my first fair, was met with amazing enthusiasm, and Girl on a Bike was born.
