Teaching Portfolio
Teaching has always been a fundamental part of my art practice. For nearly ten years I have conducted residencies, lectures, artist talks and workshops. I also taught as an adjunct instructor at the University of North Alabama. I am currently Assistant Professor of Art in the Humanities Division at Thomas University, Thomasville, Georgia. I am working to raise the profile of the studio art program at the university. I am also engaged in community and youth art projects through local organizations in Thomasville.
This site highlights some of the work created by students and participants of all ages over the past several years. It also shows examples of activities I have conducted for lecture classes.
