Prior to becoming a teacher I worked Free-lance as an Artist for companies that built sets for theatrical productionas and trade show displays. I worked with carpenters, sculpting and painting roomsize projects for companies like Matel toys. Before that I finished my Masters degree in Fine art, with an emphasis in sculpture and drawing, at University of North Texas. 

I love to draw and paint when I'm not teaching, and I am currently exhibiting wth TVAA, Art on the Square, and Faith Artists.
