Share This Artist

I began my career as an art teacher as one who created samples for the benfit of my students, to instead, being an artist with the privilege of sharing my artistic experience with them. I am always challenged and inspired by them to continue to seek solutions for my own visual inquiries. I paint both plein air and in my home studio. I also enjoy working along side my students in the classroom drawing life studies to painting murals. I think because of the variety of media that I teach year to year I don't stay rooted in just one or two. I especially enjoy working with pastels, oils, watercolor, batik, and mixed media jewelry. I find joy in preserving my memories of family through the objects I include in still-life renderings as well as the people I select for my portraits. As a teacher of art, my goal is to try to instill a love for creative problem-solving in my students.
