As an Artist, Healer, and Artaeomythologist, storytelling and helping others heal are at the core of who I am and what I feel called to share with the world. Through my practice, ArtMythos, I explore these narratives, combining the visual arts with spiritual and mythological symbolism.

With a deep foundation in the early book arts movement, I was a founding member of an artist group in Washington, DC, in the late 1980s, where we revived bookbinding as an artistic medium. As an Adjunct Professor at the Corcoran School of Art and the Founding Instructor of the Book Arts Department at the Smithsonian Institution’s Resident Associate Program, I played a pivotal role in shaping the ‘Book as Art’ movement, establishing a reputation for my skills and innovation in book arts.

As a Mixed Media Artist, I use visual storytelling to encourage others to find and share their own narratives. As a Reiki Master and Healer, I guide individuals in shedding old, disempowering stories and replacing them with ones that are self-directed and affirming. In my role as an Artaeomythologist, I lead retreats and workshops that blend the visual arts, book arts, and creative idea generation to help participants discover their voice and their authentic artistic expression.

For over 30 years, my journey as an Artaeomythologist has led me to explore life’s most mystical questions: who we are, where we are, and why we are here. My work at the Smithsonian Institution and Corcoran School of Art, combined with my archaeological field research, has deepened my understanding of historical symbols and human consciousness. My current focus integrates my passions for art, spirituality, and the profound impact of shapes, sounds, and symbols on the human experience.
