I have been a working artist for 21 years since receiving my Master of Fine Arts degree. Throughout this time, I have also been an art educator. My experience teaching has been varied; working in both public and private school environments, as well as community, corporate, and government institutions. My students have ranged from children to senior citizens. At this time I continue to paint, exhibit, and do the work of a professional artist.
