I work full time as an art teacher/counselor in a middle school. Its hard to juggle both the art and the work at times. But I also enjoy teaching and working with youth. They give me energy (most days) and it is a great way to give back.

After many years of struggling to find a consistent vision for my art I believe that I have finally found that direction. I have tried many different media. I have done portraits in oil, flowers in watercolors, still life in charcoal and have finally settled on abstracted images in soft pastel. I never thought that I would end up an abstract artist but that is what has happened. I just can't bring myself to produce anything representational anymore. It holds no interest for me. I am much more driven by internal processes than ever before. It is interesting to me to see where all of this leads.
