Artist bio

Born in Grand Rapids, I was raised in Belmont, MI. In my family it wasn’t, “Go outside and play catch” but rather, “Go outside and paint a mural on the back of the garage”. The oldest of eight children, we were brought up immersed in the arts. Our family vacations always included visiting museums and festivals of the arts. It was drama, dance, music, and song as well as painting, drawing and creating. My father is long time Catholic Central and Aquinas College art teacher/artist Jim Wisnewski and my mother Marie has been a professional cake decorator for thirty years.
After graduating from West Catholic High School, I earned my Bachelor of Arts from Aquinas College where I studied under Larry Blovits and Ron Perderson. I then earned my masters in Art Education from Michigan State University. I have been teaching art at West Catholic for 20 years and still love every day at work. My husband Steve and I have one son, Nick who is a graphic design major at Kendall College.
