I have worked in the publishing industry for over 35 years as a feature writer, columnist, editor, author, and speaker. I am the founder and executive editor of Sanctuaire, an online women’s magazine launched in 2016. I have also held leadership roles in various community organizations and am currently a member of the National Association of Women Artists’ Board of Directors. Launched in 1889, this is the first women’s fine arts organization in the U.S.
