Greetings, my friends. I presume that Bio information can be a list of dates and accomplishments or it can be a description of ones life. The first option seems somewhat lackluster, the second one more interesting (to me anyway). I entered this journey in the year 1960. Art has been a part of my life for all my life. It pleases me to say I learned a lot about art from the artist Hal (H.E.) Salisbury, a well known Pastelist in the southeastern portion of our country. I pursued a degree in Commercial Art during my college years, a degree in Education came second. I became a teacher because a Superintendent and a School Board member came to me, asking me to teach art. Thus my 27 years as an educator began. I enjoy teaching. I enjoy getting to know my students, watching them develop their artistic abilities. I hope that I can provide a room where your kids feel safe to explore the freedom of expression and accomplishment that art can provide.
