Serena is a dedicated artist and instructor and would rather be in her studio than anywhere else. She has a part time counseling practice in Portland, Oregon, specializing in creativity issues. The rest of the time she makes art, teaches art, spends time with friends and family, and reads obsessively.

Serena offers original art, and art workshops, nationally and internationally, and at at her studio. Serena’s first book, Wabi-Sabi Art Workshop, was published in 2013 by North Light. Her new North Light book, Wabi-Sabi Painting with Cold Wax was released in August, 2015.
