Hi, and welcome to Art! 
My formal education relating to the arts includes a BA from CNU and a Master of Interdisciplinary Studies from VCU with a concentration in Computer Arts and Ceramics.  My informal education continues every day in my classrooms as I watch my students grow and explore – they are my teachers.  As I observe them at work, they show me if I have been clear in my instruction, if I have made good or bad choices about their projects, and if I need to make adjustments to assure their success.

• I believe that all students can be successful.
• I believe that art is critical in this day and age; it can cross international borders and as our world becomes more connected and more visual, communicating and reading visual information becomes critical.
• I believe choice inside of structure fosters creativity.
• I believe art takes attention, effort, and persistence.
• And I believe we need to make mistakes…lots of them…, because that is how we learn.

I love teaching art. My students continue to be amazing and their work is impressive.  Please take some time and follow the links below to see fabulous student work and current project information.
