I am an Artist, Therapeutic Art Practitioner, and Fine Art Educator. I began my career as a Special Education instructor for children in underserved situations and communities, and have taught in a broad variety of settings over the past three and a half decades including private schools, institutions, and nursing homes. I have mainly shown my art work in studio openings, where clients have direct access to my work without having to pay a “middle man”. I continuously work on commission including site-specific sculpture, painting, and book illustration.

Since 2009, I have been actively engaged in the discovery of how guiding clients into Flow state (see Positive Psychology/Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) 

can have endless benefits to their wellbeing. Since 2012 I have worked mainly with geriatric clients experiencing cognitive decline (in addition to myriad other physical and mental challenges). Currently, I am working on an academic book for publication for Routledge/Taylor and Francis with my esteemed colleague Johanna Czamanski-Cohen, University of Haifa entitled “Artmaking While Coping with Neurodegenerative Disease: Progression in the Midst of Decline”. 

In 2020 to present I have worked with children suffering from the traumatic aftermath of the COVID pandemic on virtual platforms. 

I continue to enjoy instructing grades K-8 children in Fine Art as well.

 

My work is an extension of my desire to integrate my deepest spiritual, natural, physical, and intellectual concepts in myriad modalities and mediums. This integrational concept, with a focus on Flow state, also guides my teaching. 

I find excellent results with my clients (ranging in ages 2 to 102). My intuitive nature serves me well in working with variously-abled people of all backgrounds and abilities.
