About Me

is not an act, but a habit.”
~Aristotle


I live in Georgia with my beautiful and supportive husband. We have three sons who are our hearts and who never cease to amaze and delight us. We also have 2 ferret furbabies.




Brothers filled with joy after Dustin and Justin's Baptism.
All 3 were baptized at American Sign Language Conventions.


My oldest son is married, and I have a beautiful daughter-in-law! She is a blessed addition to our family!!!

In 2005, I began working where the need is great --in the American Sign Language ministry. I also had the joy of attending my second Pioneer Ministry School in ASL, and volunteered teaching Sign Language to both children and adults in my community. To support my family, I teach piano and voice lessons. I have piano students whom I have taught that won scholarships, performed in concerts at various states and in Matsumoto, Japan. My students have been published in the National Guild of Piano Teachers Magazine, Suzuki Piano Basics Foundation News, and Suzuki of Americas Magazine.

Suzuki Piano is my favorite method of teaching. As therapy to senior citizens, I have also taught Recreational Music Making, and was blessed in meeting the most beautiful hearts.

For relaxation, I create fine art. My specialties are collage, carving/printmaking, and mixed media. Art has been a part of my life since earliest memories. I cannot imagine a day passing without making something creative. I had wonderful teachers! Much of my training came from my loving mom, and my Heavenly Father in observation of his wondrous creations. I have dabbled in several different media, but the piano and paper arts are what have held my attention for the last few years. I enjoy the complexities of design when working with the many different papers and the abundance of tools I can embellish the paper with. I have been involved with stamping and paper arts since August of ‘98. My introduction to this art was through a stamping instructional pamphlet and a July/August ‘98 issue of The Rubber Stamper magazine from a local craft store. Little did I know that I would one day be published in that magazine!!!!!!! *July/August and September/October 2007*

Feel free to visit my blog and get to know a little more about what I do. I enjoy having you stop by.

Warmly,
Jacqueline
