I have experience in painting in a multitude of mediums, various paints, and materials. I enjoy working with acrylics and watercolor. My first job right after turning 16 was working as a photographer and journalist for the local newspaper in my hometown. My main job was working with the teen section; GeneratioNext asking questions, taking polls, and writing articles that were teen related to teen issues, college and continuing education, and career goals. Throughout my junior high school and high school years I worked closely with the editor of the school newspaper as a writer, and with the yearbook committee taking classes in journalism and photography. When I started pursuing my associates while enrolled at San Antonio College I took photography classes more for recreation and to hone my hobby and appreciation for photos, editing, and working behind the camera.

Before I graduated from college, I had experience as an editorial cartoonist for the Ranger at San Antonio College for one semester, lab monitor at Texas State for a year (my first tutoring job), and I interned for the Mighty Group in San Antonio for the summer semester. Since 2007, I have been practicing graphic/web design as a freelancer. This allowed me to teach clients how to update their website, taught a college student how to pass her basic website building class, and flexibility to be an art teacher assistant with MyArtStarz.

I was taught by professionals, the teachers I had were drill sergants installing skills through repetition. I work much the same way. The lessons I create are going to repeat form and function, proportion, typography and layout, pre production planning as well as the subject matter. You have to learn to walk before you get to the Olympics. This helps refresh people looking for that, and instilling the skills and understanding of the time it will take you to get to where you want with your skills. A computer is a tool, like a pencil nothing more, it won't make you a great artist, unless you have the foundation(s). In the 'working' world... Design isn’t about software or computers, it’s about visual communication. Every project has a set of goals that it seeks to accomplish. These goals might include anything from persuading someone to buy a candy bar to organizing a large amount of

I am a Cancer, so for those of you who follow western Astrology, feel free to assume many of those typical characteristics you might have read about are true, in my case--I am patient, caring, understanding and sympathetic. I have a knack for making my students feel comfortable and at ease, thus bringing out the best of their creative and imaginative side. I have been an artist all my life. One of my earliest memories is of drawing in pre-K and beginning what was to become my beloved marker collection. The very day I became old enough, I asked to be enrolled into Houston's esteemed Glassell School of Art, where I later became a teacher in my adult life. There was never any question i would go to art school for college, and I have been a working artist ever since. I have co-founded my own art space, built my own website, managed my own art consulting business, and I presently run my own h

It has been my privilege to teach at many levels and venues over my career which started in the mid 70’s. Elementary Education was my first major, and I enjoyed teaching in a Christian setting at 5th and 6th grade levels for many years. I opened my own Reading Center to help special students. Later I went to graduate school at St John’s College. I’ve taught Jr. High, H.S., and Jr. College. Most recently Sylvan Learning Center has given me great experience teaching reading, writing, and math. My goal is to help students succeed in learning and in gaining confidence. My teaching style is to get the student engaged through multi-sensory and high interest sources. Utilizing student’s strengths helps gain early success and a willingness to grow and be challenged in new areas. I consider my 25 years of teaching experience to be a rich storehouse from which I can draw for future opp

Depending on who I am teaching and what topic, I firmly but gently involve the students in the areas where they need help. I motivate them to a greater interest, therefore a more satisfactory outcome. Because I love reading, writing, and communicating, my interest and enthusiasm becomes contagious to others. I am patient and inventive in my teaching methods, fitting my style of teaching to the interests and experience of the student. When a student enjoys reading and writing, he or she then is more excited about learning for the rest of his or her life. These people become leaders. Therefore, I strive to entice my students to discover the joy in learning throughout their lives. I love the English language with its nuances, beauty, and precision of meaning. I taught in public schools for a number of years as a substitute, then returned to the university to study teaching of art, fina
