I grew up in a small Midwestern town, ideal for building solid foundations. I am a visual arts educator, artist, writer, photographer, and the author of Image Art Workshop, published by Creative Publishing international, Glorious Glue, Art with Adhesives, published by J. W. Walch, Can We Eat the Art? (Incentive Publications), and Creating Decorative Papers (Stackpole). I also co-authored the Complete Photo Guide to Creative Painting (CPi). I also wrote The King of Corn, a biography published by Prairie Home Press. Booklist selected one of my books as a Top 10 for 2012! Stackpole also published the co-authored Painting with Mixed Media.
My articles have appeared in Arts & Activities, the nation's leading art education magazine where I'm a Contributing Editor, as well as in School Arts, Instructor, Teaching Today, and many more periodicals.
I present and facilitate visual arts workshops, too! I live on a horse farm(with a mini donkey too) with my husband, two charming dogs, and two beloved old cats.
I have a Twitter account, a photo blog on Tumblr, and I'm on FaceBook and Flickr. Please see my assemblage art and mixed media painting boards on Pinterest under guhinp, and don't miss my funny Retro Vintage Humor board! Finally, check out MixedMediaManic on Blogger.com.
