ARTIST STATEMENT<\/h3>\n

“I\u2019ve taught for more than twenty five years at the university, college, and high school level. This was not something I planned, I wanted to teach\u2026but had no idea that I\u2019d end up in a high school teaching reluctant teens to embrace new ways of doing and thinking in an environment that isn\u2019t always so conducive to this end.
\nFinding a balance between my contribution as an art educator and working as an is kind of likely juggling fish while peddling down a cobblestone road on a unicycle. I can be done, but it\u2019s a constant challenge. In my spare time, I actively engage in research where I strive to make meaningful connections between art, culture, and the human experience.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been extremely blessed to have form wonderful relationships with artists and art educators who are amazing and cause me to reflect upon my own practice within these areas. I find this desire to stretch, grow and explore makes it hard to say no to new opportunities to growth and to contribute to organizations and great causes.<\/p>\n

If art is nothing more than the shadow of humanity, as Henry James stated, then it would seem that I love to linger in the shadows of life exploring the unknown and running into the new obstacles.”<\/p>\n
