I am a working artist and illustrator. I studied Illustration, Fine Art, Art History, and obtained an Edu Certification. I have taught adults and children as well as children with special needs. I support myself as an artist so I am a good teacher for students who are considering going into an art field. I can help asses portfolios, tell you about the different fields, and pass on first hand experience. I am both technically trained as well as creative and I believe these are the two musts for an artist.
I was a docent at the Mattress Factory Museum, am a member of Pittsburgh Society of Illustrators, exhibit, vend in arts festivals such as Three Rivers Arts Festival, and sell to private and commercial buyers.
I am both trained in technique and theory but also am personable and love seeing people enjoy art.
I would be very happy to help you explore art and even prepare for a career in the field. Art makes life expansive and it is for all people to engage with. Peace
