Summary

Artist and art educator from Fulton, NY. My degrees are in fine art, graphic design, and art education. I have taught every age level up through college art, graphic design, and web design for over 20 years. I'm currently a high school art teacher.

Statement

I have painted a couple local murals and am interested in drawing, painting, animation, digital painting, programming, music, and books. Helping others recognize art as an ancient human gift and take command of their innate grasp of art is a large motivator for me. I am interested in art's many detailed processes, and the recombination of ideas made possible through constructive imagination and collaboration with others.
