Experience
As a retired public school Art Teacher I have over twenty-five years art teaching experience for grades Kindergarten to Ninth Grade. I have also worked at a Magnet School as an Enrichment specialist. As a working artist, I continue to investigate visual arts through my water-colors, acrylic paintings and printmaking projects.
Teaching style
I believe artists should both be organized as well as be open to new and non-directive options. My classroom is tidy and messy at the same time. I believe there are many types of students that progress in a variety of ways. I try to give them all the possible options.
