Artist in Residence @ Berkner HS, Richardson, Texas
A highlight of my artistic, professional career. Teaching young adults the pleasure of creating art. In this semester the media was clay. The study Ceramics.
If I were younger, I would be an Educator, of Fine Arts.
My goal with my degree is to use Sculpture, as a thearaputic tool, for returning combat veterans, with PTSD. As well as, those in the private sector suffering from same.
From experience, I have found this to be a valuable therapy for many mental illnesses, a a form to develop coping skills.
