I thoroughly enjoy sharing my love of creativity with people of all ages and skill levels. The greatest compliment is when people tell me that they had FUN and overcame their fear of making art. I teach group art classes targeted at learning to explore, play and use creativity as a stress RELIEF. I also put on programs where I share my Cherokee Language series of art, tell the stories behind them, discuss Cherokee culture and the language. I also have cedar flutes and a drum and can sing in Cherokee.
In August 2024, I was juried into the Kentucky Arts Council's Teaching Art Directory. Through their grant programs, schools, libraries and and other facilities in Kentucky can have me come and teach art and/or present my Cherokee Language Visions: Art, Regalia and Storytelling program. To help illustrate some of the possibilities of a residency with me, I have some examples below. This is not the limit - if you have something in mind, just ask! I have a diverse background in art.

I currently only teach group classes, not individual private lessons.
