Artist. Mom. Teacher. Facilitator. Nature Nut. Knowledge enthusiast.
Highly qualified as an art educator with 25+ years teaching and 35+ years as a freelance artist. I strive to teach my students (regardless the circumstances of their current environment) skills and knowledge that will serve to improve their life experience. Whether my students use visual art as anxiety relief, a hobby, a career, or their life’s work – my goal is to provide intelligent, caring, expert learning opportunities that will last them a lifetime.
As a facilitator of professional development opportunities, my goal is to provide educators and administrators with knowledge, skills, and techniques that can be taken directly back to and utilized at the campus and in the classroom. My presentations are focused on subject specific content and projects that integrate art with all subjects, enhancing already existing curriculum and lessons.
I believe that we all are lifelong learners, some more purposeful than others. It is more important now then ever before that educators impart compassion, understanding, and open-mindedness to students taking the time to provide them with the skills to question, research, and make informed decisions and develop intelligent opinions. I love imparting knowledge and skills to others and in turn, watching them succeed.
Love, Peace, and Blessings to All!

Thank You again!! This has opened the door of opportunity to see so many bloggers out there I haven’t seen yet. I love photography and art and getting to see through so many eyes new to me is a real delight and so inspirational!! I can’t begin to express how important the timing of this has been.
I am so happy to hear your enthusiasm. I agree, I love to see what everyone else is doing. It amazes me every day the different directions people take their artistic pursuits.
