Throughout my life, art and education have been inextricably linked interests. As a young adult I very naturally entered the field of art education, where my philosophical, professional and creative endeavors merged.  Since 2009, I've taught K-12 grade art, currently at  Mohawk Trail Regional Middle and High School in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts.  For many summers I have been involved with local projects as a designer, director, artist and educator. I have been fortunate to collaborate with the Hilltown Youth Summer Theatre Workshop and with Double Edge Theatre as a painter, immersed in outdoor theatre, youth education, and research-based collaborative set design. Individually, I have worked in various media, most recently in watercolor, video, and digital imaging.
