| Introduction | My life has always been about creating. A Cornell graduate, I successfully ran my own graphic design studio for thirteen years before discovering an even greater passion – teaching art to children. I have taught hundreds of kids in the ten-plus years I've been teaching after-school classes in my studio, as well as parties and summer camp. I have a natural ability to look at things differently and create incredible things out of 'nothing' – and love sharing this with others. I call my approach “FUN ART” (as opposed to “fine art”), a roll-up-your-sleeves, messy kind of art kids love. The emphasis is on fun and the creative process. To me, it's all about self-expression, while promoting self-confidence and pride. A mother of 3 teenagers, I definitely understand kids. Patient, passionate, innovative, energetic, and high-spirited, I have truly found my calling. |
