Some of the musings that stir my soul...
Teaching Art to Students with
Special Needs
No one ever said it would be easy, but wow, is it rewarding!
My longing was to be an
Art Therapist.
Instead life took me in a
different direction.
My work now as an Art Teacher
at a school for students
requiring accommodations
is therapeutic not only for
my students, but also for me.

Reviving Summer Clothes
Yes, Marie Kondo wants me to declutter and get rid of everything I don't use/wear, but I have other ideas. Check out Vannadu's site on hand painting a dress. Can't wait to try it out on my denim dress that's in need of something!
Ambiance is a
form of Art
I don't know about you, but half the experience of dining at a good restaurant for me is the ambiance/ atmosphere . The other half is delicious food and excellent service. Give me either visual beauty or oddity (Hole in the walls count) - something that makes the visit worthwhile to your restaurant. Otherwise I could be eating takeout! One of my choice picks for the summer (fall, winter, spring)... The Garlic in New Smyrna Beach, FL!
Get Out and
See Some Art!
The Mennello Museum had an opening reception for Dominican artist Firelei Báez on 6/8/19. Blown away by the unique and uninhibited talent of this artist.
Go see - on view 6/7 - 9/1
Acrylic Pouring
I love this spontaneous abstract art form. Great for all ages - my Middle School kids loved it, but I would definitely do it with adults as well. Check the link below, which gives all the tips you need to begin creating pours.
