As a teacher and artist my main goal is to inspire others to love, appreciate, and explore Art and various mediums: oil pastels, watercolors, acrylics, inks, etc.  Each medium is versatile in a specific way and the final projects sometime combine a few of them to achieve astonishing effects.  Technique is important and my workshops incorporate teaching various techniques, individually applying them and creating art projects that can be used to differentiate and to address a variety of learning styles and grade levels.
