What's Up? The most influential people in my career have included masters and mentors from other cultures along with notables from our nations creative resources. Blending methods of artistic expression from many different cultures and art mediums, my projects are a mix of performance and visual arts workshops that foster a sense of pride in a child's culture as well as an appreciation of the diversity and unifying themes of many cultures.

My vision for our youth is that all children be given the opportunity to experience art at an early age. Having had an extremely full exposure to art as a child gave me the mindset to create and develop artistic alternatives and opportunities for youth in my community. For my students in general I want to provide them with a sense of self and an open-minded view of art as a holistic web that you can weave throughout your life.

I have used this process as a major positive life skill for myself and I hope future students will allow me the opportunity to use the traditional approach of passing it down.
