Watching art videos makes me happy. Making them? I didn't know it would bring joy to my life 🎨 This is the art channel I started with my family. It features my father-in-law, Bob. The videos are by my husband, Matthew. I took most of the photos too 📸 🫶 youtu.be/Yqj4FO55mzk

Show and Tell feels like going back to elementary school in the best kind of way. When I joined the Association of Higher Education Consulting and Coaching, I was delighted to meet people I care about. The last Show and Tell? Warm and welcoming. Now it's my turn ✨
