I have worked hand in hand with art education for over 40 years as a visual artist. My firm belief is that in order to be an effective art teacher, one must be a practicing artist. In teaching a variety of courses over this amount of time, my own creative leanings have swayed from one medium to another. From photography, to a series of skyscape pastel paintings, to an interest in printmaking (specifically monotypes), to a brief interlude with collages, to (most recently) a rekindled love of ceramics, I have taught and created with a passion for it all.
