Instructor Bio:

My art consists of color and themes from nature in combination with painting, fiber, ceramic, and beadwork processes. I hold a Fine Arts degree, a Master of Science in Education, and a Ct K-12 Visual Arts Educator Certification. In addition to creating my own work, for the last 35 years, it has been my passion and privilege to create lessons and opportunities for students of all ages to explore their own creativity. Encouraging students to express their own artistic voice through their creative endeavors and increased skill has been my most rewarding goal.

 


All workshops are held at the Five Points Arts Center, 855 University Drive
