About the Artist
I am a writer, having been published in mostly collegiate magazines since 1983. I earned a Master of Science in Journalism degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago, and completed an editing summer course at the University of Chicago Graham School. I have always been excited about writing; first as an elementary school student creating poetry, as a teenager writing about young romance and social behavior, and then as an adult writing magazine articles about college careers. In the 1990s, I started teaching story writing to youth, facilitating memoir writing workshops for seniors and veterans, and teaching business writing. I have a manuscript at a publishing company in Chicago that is due to be published in late 2021.
