Personal Statement

I see educational, artistic and professional pursuits as ongoing collaborations. By inviting participation and encouraging exchange of ideas all parties have a common interest in success. Helping to create an environment where intuition has a place at the table can assist in the elusive "flow" so important to creativity. I believe the most interesting expressions of art have many fingerprints all over them.
