Currently pursuing puppetry and art facilitation. I love working with groups!
On the art side, I’ve a passion for sculpture, working with paper, and performing. I worked as a docent for many years in the African Art Smithsonian, giving tours to school groups. I have led mask-building and puppet-building workshops for kids and adults in DC and locally. I’m a certified Interplay leader (group improv movement, storytelling, and singing), a musician and songwriter for puppets, and have 20+ years working with adults and juniors as a tennis teaching pro.
I love facilitating group art challenges!
To promote artists, art education, and innovation in art.
