Mari Jane's background includes a B.A. Degree in Elementary and Special Education.

She enjoys working with children who have disabilities. When not in the schools, she may be found with a piece of charcoal and drawing pad in hand or creating bits of beauty on her outdoor canvas, a rock and flower garden.

Mari Jane and her husband, Paul, have five sons and live in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Mari Jane's "The Greatest", offers a great look at how lessons are passed from generation to generation and dreams are realized from those timeless lessons and love between a father and son. ~ Steve Warren, founder of the D. R. E. A. M. foundation
