My career as an Art/Gifted teacher for the School District of Philadelphia also included curriculum development, writing Art standards, and instructing teacher in-service classes. As co-founder of The Fablemonger Puppet Theater, I have performed in major institutions, museums and schools while developing programs for specific art collections. I am currently a docent at The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, specializing in the Chinese and Near Eastern Collection. My growth as a clay artist comes directly from taking classes at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, and now being part of their Associate Program. I continue to participate in wood firings at Yellow Springs Art Center and Tony Moore’s kiln in Cold Springs, NY.
