"My
greatest joys and learning experiences have come through teaching what I
love. For me, its more about inspiration and creative expression than
learning by the book. I am privileged to be a Teaching Artist at New Britain
Museum of American Art, West Hartford Art League, CT Children's Medical
Center and Young Audiences/VSAarts for long term artist residencies in schools."

"I thought you might be interested to know that one of your
former digital photography students has two photos accepted into the ArtWalk
Exhibit this year. I'm so glad that I took your class last year! It
was a great springboard into what has become a real passion for me."
