Hi Guys,
Thanks for checking out my page. I guess I will start my first post as an introduction. I have always had love for art. When I was in high school I wanted to take Auto mechanics but my mom wouldn't let me. She said this whole thing about her daughter not being a grease monkey. Anyway she wanted me to pursue my interest in art while I was in High school. I took art classes for a year and then it was time to graduate. After graduating from high school, I decided that I wanted to teach. I have always had a passion for helping people, and I enjoyed my employment in the field of education. While attending college I decided to study Education and Fine Art. Through my research in Psychology and Art I began to learn more about myself and my abilities. Due to the encouragement of my professors I began to exhibit my art work. My work has been exhibited in The Pennsylvania Capitol Building, The Fulbright International Student House in Washington, D.C. and October Gallery in Philadelphia. Due to hard work and determination, I graduated Magna Cum Laude and received a Bachelors of Art from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania.
Although I have graduated from college, the learning has not stopped. I will continue to be a lifelong learner. I have learned to freely express my feelings and thoughts on canvas, and I have the ability to use my camera to capture a moment in life, or the essence of a person. My artwork reflects my growth and development, both as a person and as an artist. There is nothing greater than finding your purpose, and doing exactly what you know you are called to do.
Art is the vehicle that takes me on this journey through life. Photography has enabled me to capture and document the world through my eyes. Teaching allows me to share all of my talent, knowledge and ability with younger generations. The combination of all three is what my life's work is all about. My goal as an artist is to capture my passion through visual arts and share it with the world. My goal as an educator is to educate, inspire and motivate a generation of free- willed , well rounded, critical thinkers with a voice to be heard.

So I guess that will be enough about me for now. I started this blog because I wanted to be able to share my artwork, my philosophy on art, and get the chance to network with new people. Feel free to leave me a comment. :-)
