"I am my art...my art I am". I am an artist and art educator. These are the two greatest things I can be and remain being for myself and this world. Teaching takes a great deal of time and dedication, so when I have some spare time one usually finds me creating art and learning different art techniques. This helps to keep me in a balanced state and keeps my mood up. I have exhibited locally and statewide and my works are also in private collections across the country. I work in a variety of different media and my latest works, Polaroid emulsion lifts, cross the boundaries between painting, printmaking and photography.
