I came to Parkland in the fall of 2005, having left Delta College in Michigan where I had a full time position teaching painting and drawing. I teach drawing, design and digital imaging within the art program here at Parkland. I work collaboratively with a group of talented and energetic designers as Graphic Design Program Director.
My students have diverse career goals. Part of my job is to illustrate the continuity between various art and design fields, while providing my students with a comprehensive experience in visual literacy, creative problem solving, materials and techniques. Everything that a student learns in art and design is cumulative. Success at intermediate and advanced levels is dependent upon a complete understanding of what art is. My goal is to provide students with a rigorous and supportive environment where they can develop as skilled artists, possessing the self-confidence and critical awareness they need to engage the world in which they live.
I incorporate drawing, painting and digital imaging in my own work. I try to make images that are relevant and risky.
