Welcome to Alchemy!
Welcome to my website! Here you will find an alchemical mix of
art, artwork, artists, art classes, teaching artists and artist residencies.
If you are looking for individualized art classes please contact me - if
I don't teach it, I know someone who does!
Please be sure and read my Teaching Artist page - I am a national VSA Teaching Artist Fellow with The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. My art forms include: Mixed Media Collage, Hand-Building in Clay, Assemblage Art, Murals, and I specialize in community-building projects!
In addition to teaching art classes I am also an Artist Representative. I am happy to set an appointment with you to see your work.
This past year I have written news stories, reviews and features for Patch.com (Sarasota Patch). Just type in my name and all of the stories will come up.

This is the mural and waterfall project we completed in April 2011. We would like to replicate this in area schools and community centers (all aspects of the mural concept can change to fit your needs). Please help connect me with schools, at-risk centers, and community centers who may be interested. Here's a video of the project:
