About
I am a visual artist living in Maine and Bermuda. I have been making my own art and teaching art for over twenty years, to both adults and young people.
My own work is a visual response to form and color, the beauty of the natural world, memories and history, play and exploration of techniques and mediums.
As a teacher, I stress the importance of material literacy. I want my students to experience a wide array of materials and tools so they will be empowered to express themselves in a multitude of mediums and also, have reverence and some understanding of how great works of art and crafts have been created. My classroom is a place where students can slow down, a safe space to be themselves and express their inner worlds. Many of the projects they do are deeply meditative in their nature as well as a process of discovery, whether it's painting with rich layers of oil paint or weaving a basket with long strings of wicker, again and again.
I strive to connect personally with all of my students and help them bring to life each of their own unique character through their artistic creations. I want to know what makes them sing.
