I'm an art teacher. I like to teach Art History and Design. My students are cool, like all high school kids can be. I really like what I do. I'm full of fear about being in the studio, but I love it just the same. Art in any form is just about the best thing for me, and for me to be around, its in my dna.

During our National Art Honor Society Group Meeting on Thursday, we shared this group with my students...I hope they will start joining and share their work with all of you. They're pretty terrific.
Glad you got over to the ACM Saturday. I didn't actually make it there. I guess my note to you was misleading; I apologize. Wish I would have had a contact for you to let you know I.couldn't get there. In all my rush to get there I blew out my wheels so needed to get them fixed :(.
So glad the show made an impact on you. It is a great show; so much emotion and responsibility contained in the works. I love it! And that's not because my work is a part of it; although, I am always honored and in awe of being among such awesome talented artists. And the ACM seems to always deliver just that....EXPLODING
i'll send my number to you in a private message.
Hopefully, we can connect and talk. still doing research on hieroglyphs any enlightenment you have will be awesome to gain :).
