Family - When my father was in the U.S. Army, I spent most of my childhood moving and living around the USA - West Virginia, Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina. I also had the wonderful opportunity to experience living in Germany and France for 8 years, and to travel all over Europe and to some parts of Africa.
My husband [CW] and I met while students at the University of South Carolina. Since our marriage, we have lived in South Carolina, North Carolina, North Dakota, and Illinois.
Perhaps you could say that my life has been a "moving" experience in more ways than one.

Education - I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, and a Master of Science Degree in Computer Science Engineering from Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas.
I have also studied fine arts at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, and at DuPage College and Waubonse College in Illinois. Whenever the opportunity arises, I continue to take courses and workshops in fine art, fiber/textiles, mixed media, and quilt making techniques.
