Teaching Statement

I consider myself to have two priorities as a studio art teacher:

  1. to provide the information and support system that enables students to build skills and technical expertise,
  2. to encourage students to explore creative possibilities and develop a personal set of priorities for their work.

In my own creative work, I continue to call on a variety of skills depending on what will best help me explore particular ideas. My background in printmaking (color lithography in particular) has provided a specific was of approaching the art making process that embraces a thick layering of information in both a physical and conceptual sense. I am acutely aware of my dual role as Artist/Teacher and feel that the two feed on each to other –I am a role model for my students, and they are role models for me.
