IN THE STUDIO & IN THE CLASSROOM

THIS SECTION REPRESENTS SOME OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES IN MY WORLD OF ART. I WAS A CLASSROOM EDUCATOR FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS. I HAVE WORKED WITH ALL AGE GROUPS AND POPULATIONS. IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR TO HAVE COLLABORATED WITH ARTIST IN THE UNITED STATES AS WELL AS WITH EUROPEAN ARTIST. IT HAS ALSO BEEN A BLESSING TO HAVE FORMED MENTOR-SHIPS AROUND THE WORLD WITH SO MANY PEOPLE.
