FEATURED STUDENTS
I would like to thank the many students I have been privileged to work with – sharing information and the creative experience.
Teaching is certainly a mutually rewarding journey and it’s amazing what we learn from one another.
I intend, however, to feature the older artist (over 90), who, through the artistic process has remained very vital despite chronological age. As the magical journey unfolds, they remain young at heart – allowing the art experience to become very positive and therapeutic.
