I began my career with Columbia Basin College in 2001 where I currently teach a variety of two-dimensional media. Along with teaching, I am a practicing artist whose paintings explores both social and cultural themes that touch on current events, historic perspectives and personal experiences. My work has been shown locally and regionally including solo shows at Shoreline Community College, Gallery One in Ellensburg Washington and Wenatchee Valley College. I believe art should be part of everyday life and my role is to introduce art to the students, across campus and to the community.
