I have been working as an international teacher and professor of Art/IB Art and Art History for over 25 years. One of the truest statements ever made is that when you do something you truly love, you will never feel like work is just a 'job'. I love the university students I teach, and I love teaching my upper-level high school students. I tried out a few other professions before becoming a teacher, but teaching is part of my DNA and I could not ignore the thing that pushed me towards a life that I have always wanted.
Because I have been teaching internationally, i have had the opportunity to travel to many beautiful places and many different countries. At the moment I believe I have visited somewhere over fifty countries. But even better yet I have had the chance to live in five countries for an extended period of time. Below are some of the highlights of the photos I took while on the road.
Luckily, because of the subjects I teach, I have been able to include a lot of my travel experiences in the curriculum.
Art history is not merely about paintings and sculptures, dates and names of artists; it is also about the lives, the culture, and the reasons people have been making art since time began.

I specialize in acrylic painting and mixed media. My work has been featured in galleries across the world, and I have won several awards for my pieces, but like all of us, I am still learning.
My work is influenced by the vibrant colors and textures of nature, but mostly by the vibrant colors women, especially those who I meet on my travels, indigenous to the lands they share; Their emotions and experiences are more similar than not to those that we all share. Even when I teach course that are majority made up of males, I do not see this as a binary universe but a world of humans. My study of the women from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and other cultures have taught me as much about the male of our humanity as the feminine side. I strive to create pieces, and teach in stories that are both visually stunning and emotionally impactful.
I begin each piece with a vision in mind, but allow the materials and my instincts to guide me as I work. I believe that the process of creating art should be just as fulfilling as the finished piece.
