Lexington, SC
I began my 42 yr. HS Art teaching career as the artist-in-residence at an arts G&T high school program in Columbia, SC. I helped design the original Tri-District Arts Consortium (Tri-DAC) G&T program, and I taught sculpture there for 15 summers. I taught three summers in the Honors Program at the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities. I have conducted many art workshops for middle schoolers through adults.
In 1982 I was named the Richland County School District One Teacher of the Year.
My forte is sculpture, and photography is my second love. I also paint and draw. I have shown and won awards at many local, state, regional, and national art exhibits.
