Observations

As a teacher, I believe that teaching students to be observant and present in the moment is to give them a gift that will get them through many of life's events both big and small.  

Making art has always been a part of my life.  From the moment I first realized I could draw a tree that actually looked like a tree, I knew how I wanted to fill my days.  When I am making art, I am in another place.  I think it is the "zone" that some talk about...a place of total concentration.  I  always seem to be  involved in the creation of something.  Sometimes that is just a lesson plan or a draft of a letter or a sketch.

      I have been a public school teacher for 20 years.  I graduated from the University of Colorado, received my teaching credential and MA from San Francisco State University, received Fulbright-Hays Summer Fellowships to both China (1991) and India (1999) and achieved National Board Certification in 1996 in the area of Adolescence and Young Adulthood Art.  

    For twenty years
    I taught in public schools in Menlo Park and Mountain View California as well as at San Jose State University where I was the Director of the San Jose State University California Arts Project. 

    In 2014, I facilitated the writing of the Visual Arts Standards for AERO, a project supported by the U.S. State Department's Office of Overseas Schools.  I am now the lead trainer for School Loop [www.schoolloop.com]
