There is a rich history to explore,
and it may be found in the hands of my students.
My college-level teaching includes the Parson School of Design and Hunter College undergraduate level. In 1988 I became a faculty member with the Westchester Arts Workshop/Westchester Community College. On occasion I exhibit in Westchester, as well in other galleries and shows. Day in Clay enabled me to bring elements of the creative process into classrooms of all age groups, abilities, and grade-levels.
The diversity in my creative life includes the founding of Undercurrent Designs™ Inc., a decorative painting studio that primarily works with interior designers and architects for residential and commercial spaces. This work has added to the decorative sensibilities that have immediate currency in the design and art world. I bring this aesthetics back into the classroom. I think, too, that my diverse set of experiences has enabled me to relate to many ways of educating students in all levels and disciplines.
I enjoy the challenge of encouraging students to explore new ways of working in clay, paint, and color. We regularly accomplish results in the classroom that bring delight to students, parents, and teachers. Students respond with finished works that sometimes exceed even their own expectations. I have been told many times that the students do not want to leave when the class is over
