it all started
with my mom who was a fun combo of an artist, chess-playing, outdoorsy, 3rd grade teacher who loved to teach science + art equally - and who would jump into the coldest lake water in any upstate NY June she loved to get messy + create art with kids whether it was paper mache, paint, clay, or just some crayons even growing up with an artsy mom i hadn't ever really though of myself as an artist or an art teacher - except recently now i know 100% for sure

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
