Welcome to my whimsical world of art instruction. Be ready to be dazzled by all the magical projects, art exhibits, and educational resources that help to make the subject I teach a fun and empowering learning experience for all my students . You're invited to explore art work that was done by students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Please feel free to also get to know a little more about me by checking out my philosophy of teaching, my own pieces of art, along with works from the great masters such as Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh whom have taught us how to be mindful observers of the world around us. Which ever portion of my site you choose to explore first, my hope is that you will be delighted with the work you see and that you will take advantage of the educational links to expand your knowledge of the arts. Most of all, I hope this site encourages everyone who visits to seize the opportunity to channel their inner creativity because as Picasso said "Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
