In addition to teaching,
presenting workshops,
and lecturing for Six Star Entertainment, I'm an active member of the
Naples Florida art community. As a member of the Board of Friends of Art of the
Naples Museum of Art, I developed, coordinated, and was a presenter in
a lecture series consisting of local artists demonstrating and
lecturing on their own work. I have taught an adult painting course entitled
“Mixing with the Masters” at the Naples Museum of Art, designed
to showcase permanent works in the Museum as teaching
tools and as inspiration for my students.
An art education consultant for the Naples Alliance for Children, I
have taped lectures for Naples area PBS television programs.
My teaching career began in public school art education in the Milwaukee area,
and now focuses on adult students in Naples (FL).
My work has been exhibited in juried shows across the country.
I take great pride in my students' accomplishments, and am happy to be
able to provide a gallery of their work; please
browse it
and feel free to contact them directly if you would like more information.
I am a native of Milwaukee, and hold a Master of Science degree in Education from the
University of Wisconsin and a bachelor of Fine Arts degree from
Washington University, St. Louis. I owned and operated a gallery in Milwaukee showing and selling
works of University of Wisconsin faculty and served as consultant to
private art collectors.
