My mother and father met in an art class that they took in night school. I can remember watching my Dad make many things in his workshop, and paint gorgeous acrylic landscapes and birds in his office/studio. After my father untimely passed away, I found solace in creating art for hours on end; mostly drawing and painting the things I loved and what I was feeling. I truly view art as a type of meditation and a way to calm and focus the mind while creating something beautiful. I strive to create a space for my students where they feel safe to express their ideas, create what's in their hearts, and feel pride in the artwork that they create. I feel so lucky to share what I love with others every day."
