Every artist is unique and needs a caring and stimulating atmosphere that supports risk taking and invites the sharing of ideas.

As a teacher, I aspire to guide the individual's natural curiosity to direct his/her creative process. For students to formulate their own artistic purpose, they need the opportunity to learn the foundations of technique, media, and self-discipline. Personalized lesson plans that also reinforce the foundations of art expand individual discovery and growth. Given the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer exploration. As an instructor, I am here to help the individual find and strengthen their own artistic voice.

Teaching provides me continuous learning and growth. My hope as an educator is to instill a love of art, experimentation, and expression in my students, as I share my own passion with them.

To my students in this current exhibition…

With my deepest gratitude, thank you for the opportunity to get to know you and assist in your artistic endeavors.
