| Introduction | I love teaching the art of "seeing" and techniques for creating art. The main media I work with is ink, pencil, watercolor, gouache, gold leaf, and oils. The main surfaces I use are illustration board, canvas, handmade paper, and wood. I graduated from the University of Hartford in the Hartford Art School with an MFA. My undergraduate studies were at the University of Alaska Anchorage and I also earned a Phi Kappa Phi National Fellowship in Art in 1997. |
