,As a former public school art teacher and a current art education professor, I believe in engaging students in meaningful, interdisciplinary curricula. This focus
produces individualized creations that holds relevancy to each student. Moving outside ones’ artistic comfort zone
​is always acceptable and in fact, encouraged. Many of the images included on this page represent my explorations using new materials and/or techniques. I am primarily interested in process and how my explorations can translate into K-12 curriculum ideas. I consistently take classes and I enjoy being a student.

In my work, I tend to gravitate towards working with clay using hand building techniques, but I enjoy exploring multiple mediums. Being a generalist is what I enjoy most about teaching art. Following this principle, my portfolio also includes dry masonry work, printmaking, drawing, jewelry, and images of my efforts to recycle discarded furniture. At my core, I am an educator who happens to love all forms of art.
