In addition to being a practicing artist and craftsperson, I've been teaching fine and decorative arts techniques since 1992. When my non-profit community arts center "Totts Gap Arts Institute" closed in 2020, I moved all of my courses to my home studio in Bangor, PA. Students interested in private lessons or workshops can email me here.
