D N BishopWhile living in Michigan I received several degrees in Fine Art and Art Education. My interests have always been diverse.

Growing up in this environment and loving to sing, I began singing at The Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village for approximately five years. After moving to Texas, I began teaching two-dimensional art and discovering that all children need to express themselves in any and all forms.
