I knew I wanted to be an artist when I started taking art classes in high school. I would come home and make all kinds of crazy sculptures from any found objects I could conjure up, long before they were known as “mixed media”.
As an educator I was always a strong supporter of the arts. My students were often recognized for their artistic ability which I fostered through the integration of art across the curriculum.
My efforts were rewarded by winning numerous awards and accolades, especially for the mixed media murals they collaboratively created.
As an administrator for the New York City Public schools, I supervised many performing and visual artists in the schools as part of the artists residency program. This afforded many lasting memories and creative experience for thousands of students throughout my career.
You’ll experience this same passion today.
