GRANTS* / AWARDS Graduate Fellowship, Tyler School of Art, Temple University PA Council in the ARTS, Artist in Residence Grant, 2000 Educator 500 Award / Wood Firing Partnership, West Chester University, 2006 Great Valley Foundation Grants for Artists in Residence, 2011, 2012, 2014 Great Valley Foundation Grant for Technology: 2012 *Grants - during my teaching years I found it important to offer students art experiences as an extension of curriculum. Through visiting artist grants, an art partnership with a neighboring school district’s art program, and annual museum field trips to Philadelphia, New York City and Washington DC, students worked with artists and visited venues that extended the classroom studio setting.
THOUGHTS ON PAINT Working with the ebb and flow of a painting reveals what is ‘known’, ‘observed’, ‘sensed’ and what is slightly out of reach altogether. Each painting, a reminder, that resolution is elusive and paint has its say. To observe, reflect and respond to the nature of paint, subject, and self - painting.
