I've taught art ed & other subjects in elementary, middle school, high school & special needs schools for 35 years, between Baltimore, MD & Colorado Springs, CO. During my career I've illustrated two published books & have publicly sold my own artwork. I hold certifications in various areas of the healing arts. My full time career ended after retiring in 2005 from teaching art K-12 for eighteen years at the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind.
