  • Biography: 
    I have known I would be a teacher since I was a child, but it took me 25 years to land on the subject matter! I now revel in being able to teach and be creative at the same time. My fingernails may rarely be clean, but my soul has never been so free.
    Philosophy: 
    I firmly believe that effective and talented teachers must themselves never stop learning. I love to travel and meet new people, but even better, I love to learn the trends and techniques of a culture or a geographic area. I feel teaching Art Clay is more than empowering someone to master a technique – it’s also about allowing an artist to embrace their creative expression.
