I'm an artist, but I supplement my income by teaching! I started making art in 1977 under the tutelage of John Kitner and Elmer Craig. Other great teachers and influences I had include the printmaker, Kenneth A. Kerslake and the superb artist, Marcia Isaacson. It was at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with Professor Mike Miller that I was given the opportunity to start my teaching career. From the Art Institute I moved on to Broward college and The Historical Museum of Southern Florida. In August of 1986 I started my career teaching art at Christopher Columbus Catholic High School Conducted by the Marist Brothers of the Schools which is an all boys school. A lot of what you see in my art is about my day to day dealings with these fellows! Ten years ago I started teaching adults at the Barry University PACE Program. This is a breath of fresh air for me to teach both adults and women.
It took me a while to put up this website. Please comment one way or another as to how you feel. Go ahead, I can take it! After all I have worked at an all boys school for over 30 years.
