I have been a working artist for over 20 years! I earned my undergraduate degree (Bachelor of Fine Art) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1991. There I focused on painting and printmaking.

From Chicago I went to Washington University in St. Louis for my graduate degree (Master of Fine Art.) While in graduate school I worked on my teaching skills and my own fine art work. I have had an active exhibition record and teaching experience in continuing education, secondary and undergraduate settings.

Because of my broad artistic background I am able to offer many different types of classes in my AGAPE classroom. Here at AGAPE I teach introduction to art, painting, drawing, photography, bookbinding, ceramics and other classes.
