Experience Summary
As a Graduate of The University of Pennsylvania,I was driven to achieve a high level of excellence in education. Later, I attended PAFA as Graduate School, which is one of the finest art schools in the country. As a professional Artist, I gained business experience,while teaching at a variety of art centers and Cabrini College. I have published my work with Brilliant Studios Inc.and sold my art throughout the world. In addition to any art related subject, I can teach writing, or English Literature and other academic classes. Written and visual communication skills are strong suits, as I have coauthored /coillustrated a children's book entitled Just About A Year, which will be published this year.
Teaching Style
I was trained academically at PAFA to draw and paint still life, landscape, the human figure but as a child, my Mother introduced me to painting in the tub with newsprint taped to walls, with tempra paint in baby food jars to express myself. I love teaching young children but have worked with all ages, from tots to elders. I believe in teaching the process so that it is an experience of discovery and I provide a constructivist approach to learning, providing building blocks of information in lessons that provide tools for a strong foundation. I believe in teaching people how to learn and how to think.
