Art is something I love to share with others because it provides a creative way to express thoughts and ideas while building self-confidence. Art also cultivates new ways of thinking and fosters new ways to solve problems. I believe everyone is born with creative potential and with direction, instruction, and practice, artists can develop their creative abilities.

Research Interests:
Visual Journaling, Creating & conducting online art camps, Podcasting

Current Research:
A few years back we moved from South Florida where I taught art for over 20 years to students ranging from preschoolers to 12th graders. My move to Jacksonville, love for teaching, and love for art, has motivated me to research new ways to help people understand and create art, thus leading to offering neighborhood and online art camps.
