I'm an Artist and Art Teacher with a passion for all things creative. I have a BFA in Illustration, and my artwork tends to be bright and colorful. My preferred medium is painting, and includes oil, acrylic and watercolor. I love to explore new ways of expressing myself creatively as well, such as photography, fiber arts, and mixed media. I have been doing commissioned artwork for over 20 years and enjoy creating for others. I love to paint, but I am most at home in the classroom teaching kids about art. Creative expression is so important in our world, and I truly believe that every child is an artist.
