I have been teaching for 12 years. The most important thing for me in teaching is giving students a place to express themselves safely.   I am originally from Ohio.  My spouse is in the navy, so we’re here from the East coast. I have 2 dogs at home, a Chug and a Dalmatian. When I’m not teaching art, I am making my own art, reading, trying to experience new places, playing video games, or spending time with family
