My teaching experience, spanning all aspects and levels of education, has enabled me to see artistic greatness through the eyes of the young and old and to help student appreciate the richness of great art and artists so that they can express the greatness that exists inside themselves.

Helping students to explore their innermost thoughts, ideas and feelings has been an inspiration to me for years. My artwork is a microcosm of my life as a teacher, a mother, a wife, and as a testimony to my ethical beliefs.

My major influences have been my childhood years in Brooklyn; my other New York City experiences; my college years; during the evening hours while holding full-time working positions; my beautiful family and my compassion for social concerns.
