• As an educator, I am always learning from my students and it is thru their creativity and
insight that one is literally seeing the world with new sight and understanding. Just when
you think there is not another solution to a design problem that has been given a student
will find a unique and innovative project which inspires not only peers but tenured faculty.
• The projects presented herein encompass a diverse selection of disciplines from
printmaking, design and drawing to photography and summer art camps over the course
of ten years as an art educator at public and private institutions with students in
kindergarten thru graduate-level art programs.
• Many thanks to all of my students for their enthusiasm and creative problem solving!
