“I have taught in many different settings from museums to projects for the underserved, as artist-in-residence and in premier, progressive independent schools (The Paideia School in Atlanta and The Atrium in Boston area). Recently I have enjoyed working on special outreach projects with the Columbus Botanical Garden and a local T.A.P. program designed to bring children from all backgrounds together to create and communicate. I think all the work I’ve done over the years –children’s books as well as books for adults, painting (murals and portraits, etc) teaching has been a core influencer on all of my art and writing.”
