“Creativity is not a pastime. It’s an essential part of who we are, finding countless expressions in our life each day.”
— Tyler Enfield


I have been lucky to be able to work in the arts and live a creative life. For many years I have studied sculpture, painting, fiber arts and mixed media with many gifted teachers and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others who are interested .

I am also interested in the Healing Arts and am a Reiki Practitioner. I believe that Art is a wonderful way for people to find their authentic voice…which I believe is vital for a full and happy life.

I offer classes and workshops in a variety of mediums at reasonable rates:

Metal and Beaded Jewelry
Mixed Media in painting, paper, and textile
Art Journals and Altered Books
Fiber Arts…knitting, crochet, wool spinning and dyeing

Location at Shishi's School of Fun Arts in studio 401B in the E.T. Wright Building and at the Rockland Art Center which is located on the 1st floor of the same building. (elevator and wheel chair access and Air conditioned)

I have a small "in studio" Boutique called Shishi Designs. The name came from my nickname that family and friends know me by. It also describes my style of Art…full of color and energy....a bit different..... with a touch of whimsy.
