WSD: Visual Arts

I am interested in leadership and research in creativity and arts education. I have well-earned knowledge and devout enthusiasm for these topics and promote the great value of arts education in and of itself. I believe that the arts, from kindergarten to college, are central to teaching and learning. The arts fosters community development and programing and serve as the foundation of a well-rounded education--rich in connections and culture.

I’ve been involved in art and education since I was old enough to hold a pencil and open a book. As an artist, I am an active illustrator, photographer, and watercolorist. My other interests include long-distance (marathon) running, hiking, swimming, yoga, philosophy,  and traveling the world.
