“To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived ― that is to have succeeded” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson
“How can we infuse our classrooms with regard for imagination and a desire for a multiplicity of visions, the alternative possibilities the arts can offer. How can we provide occasions for moving intelligently on what is called the information highway and move beyond the facts that mark the way, discovering the empty places, the places that have become sites of social suffering, the spaces we might transform.” —Maxine Green
I teach art at Timberlane Middle School in Pennington, New Jersey. Course content explores issues in creative and critical thinking while introducing students to the techniques and materials used in artmaking and design. Topics include three-dimensional art, digital art, drawing, illustration, painting, typography and lettering, printmaking, book design and surface design. In the past I've taught art and digital design at Seton Hall University, Jersey City's High School of Visual and Performing Arts, Pratt University Continuing Education and Arizona State University. I hold a K-12 Teacher of Art Standard Certificate in the state of New Jersey.
