I am an artist, teacher and lifelong learner. I love learning new techniques for my art and working with new art mediums. There are times when my experiments fail. But that's okay, because it's all part of learning. Once I've mastered something, I enjoy passing my knowledge on to others. I love seeing that spark light up when my students discover that they can do something new. And, when they can walk out of my studio and show their masterpiece to their friends, or give it to a loved one, it makes my day.
