Tell us about yourself as an artist , a teacher. I have been teaching for 22 years. I love small children as they are very enthusiastic and love art. It saddens me that art education is considered a frill in the public schools. It is so important to have an art experience to be a balanced child.
Most children are thrilled to have art in the schools.
I also love teaching at the college level. I think it's exciting to thread art through the many cultures and see how much it reflects the societies we're studying. When I was working on my undergraduate degree, I was creating a lot of art. I have probably taken a class in almost every medium of art which was good for an art education degree. I was involved in ceramics, which I enjoyed very much.
