"I consider myself a student in the classroom, learning as much from those that I teach, equal to what I teach.”After a thirty-year journey pursuing a professional career as a painter and art instructor, I have a strong faith in the intuitive process that allows any of us to express our selves. The success is found in the many ways the collaborative creates opportunity. I rely heavily on my life experience visiting and being part of many communities… this opens an opportunity to encourage growth in the creative process beyond our expectations.


It is my intention through my art and teaching to destroy the walls that society has built around the expression of art. I achieve this by removing the stereotypes that block us all from pursuing a life style that includes the creative process.
