SUMMER of 2011 ----------
"Vineyard Summer by the Sea"

Philosophy
In my work, I try to enhance my students visual awareness, creative thinking skills, and
artistic abilities through a variety of 2 and 3 dimensional projects in a variety of medias.
I reinforce the Principles of Design through repeated challenges with an emphasis
on line, color shape, form , space and texture. My goal is to help people to be more
involved in their visual worlds.
