Testimonials from Students

I’ve been an arts educator for over 20 years and have taught classes, workshops and retreats to people from ages 3-85 in many different creative mediums and settings.

Learn more about my teaching experience:

“I learn over and over again that the creative process is an intelligence that knows where it has to go. Somehow it always finds the way to the place where I need to be, and it is always a destination that never could have been known by me in advance.”

-Shaun McNiff, art therapist
