BA in Fine Arts, Major: Studio Art, Minor: Art History. Currently I'm flying-solo full-time, working on my own work and investing in my growth as a working artist. Primary Media: Oil on canvas. Explorations: Multi-media and Fiber Materials.

EXTENDED HISTORY: Transitioned-to-Teaching & Masters in Art Education studies at IU Northwest.

Taught 5 years, in public schools; all Visual Arts at Calumet New Tech High School, Gary, IN including 2D and 3D Design, Drawing, Painting, Ceramics, Sculpture, Dig. Photo, and Photoshop/Illustrator.

Curricular Projects: Designed a rigorous project-based-learning course integrating Algebra I and Fine Arts standards, inspired by the work and genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Hence, I titled the course da Vincihttp://www.leonardo-da-vinci-biography.com/images/leonardo-da-vinci-mathematician.1.jpg

My course-design incorporates a wide variety of Art Media and techniques guided by science & mathematical methodologies, to solve "Real-World" problems. PBL Learning style with multiple curriculum integration is highly effective for empowering students to become life-long-learners with an increased sense of perspective that helps to expand their minds and broaden their world views.
