I have been teaching art (animation, illustration, sculpture, painting, and digital art) to elementary and teenage students consistently for over 25 years.  My teaching includes 4 years as a public school teacher, 15 years as the owner of the Creative Art Network (after-school, during school, and summer programs) and 12 years as an artist in residence (mural painting focus).  I've also been designing elaborate video tutorials since 2008 for a large variety of mediums.

I love what I do and that passion drives my ongoing learning.  I’ve studied traditional art through Cornish College of the Arts, Western Wa University, and a variety of other classes.   The source of my ongoing digital art training (Primarily 2d digital illustration and animation and 3D modeling and animation) is through Animation Mentor, Think Tank Training Center of Canada, CG Masters academy, CG Boost Academy, Udemy, Skillshare, InLearning, and much more
