I have been an art educator for over two decades and have been a professional artist for 30 years. I pursued art education and art history from Northern Illinois University. Today, I have a passion for creativity and education. I am a drawer, painter, printmaker, and ceramicist. I thoroughly love what I do in my classroom with my students everyday while my students learn about art history, art techniques, artist of modern day, and so much more. Each day is new and different with my many student artists working hard to build a strong portfolio.
