I believe that the drive to learn is one of the markers of our humanness. Because of that, I see learning as a basic human right, just as it is a life-long drive. There is an excitement in becoming part of someone’s quest for knowledge, of being honored as a guide, in being trusted to be part of the sharing that is part of every strong learning experience.
My teaching experiences include:
-
-
Developing and delivering programs to help artists become more sustainable in the business of art.
