Creating art in a group setting is both stimulating and comforting. The support one gets from fellow artists allows an individual the freedom to experiment, take risks, and develop their individual "voice". A teaching artist has the experience of having developed their own discipline and so can guide the learning process with a step-by-step program that builds skills and confidence. My own work combines observation and memory. I believe it is important to develop the ability to observe closely and, simultaneously, to think deeply about ones relationship to nature and the world around us. The most important goal in my teaching has been encouraging the confidence it takes to make choices that result in personal expression.
