She has been teaching drawing, art history and graphic design at Cleveland High School in Los Angeles since 2002, incorporating the experiences of her first career in graphic design, where she created corporate identity and collateral materials, advertising and packaging. Her love for all forms of art inspire her students to explore their own creativity.  To visit her blog, go to http://dkmercer.wordpress.com/

After a 30+ year career in Information Technology with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, she retired in 2005 and devoted herself to her longtime interests in textile art, quilting, watercolor, and nature crafts.
