"I draw very little distinction between my teaching career and my career as a professional artist. As an educator I teach by example and as an artist I draw inspiration from my students. Teaching affords me the luxury and freedom to explore new avenues I might be afraid to explore if I had to depend solely on my own artwork to sustain myself."
