From the movie: “Midnight in Paris”
I am a retired high school Visual arts teacher. My main goal for my students was and still is to create a safe haven for creativity and personal growth. The making of art images and objects is conceptual and technical based. Personal choices, experience and discovery, is a journey toward independence and maturity.

More Reasons For The Arts in Schools
“...we live at a time when division is the norm.”
“Art is an antidote for our time...art meets us where we are and invites us in—to think, feel, wonder, dream, debate, laugh, resist, roam, [and] imagine.”
“...social, political and historical connectedness [is] born of...traumatic experience.” “Art instigates true engagement.”
“...filmmaker or photographer, author or actress, poet or painter...[artists] use art as a weapon for dynamic optimism.””...the perils of politics and power pivot to a blade of grass, a note of music, a line [in] a novel, expression on the screen, [and] we breathe deeply and are revived.”
