As a professional I have had a life time career as an educator. I began teaching in the early 80s in response to my desire to assist children in developing their imaginations and learning to express themselves freely and with verve. From these experiences in my early 20s and 30s I developed summer camps in several places in New England that focused on teaching the arts; both performance and visual. My work expanded into programs for adults in both theatre and the visual arts through continuing education programs and my own classes offered out of my studio at home.
