I am an artist, writer, and arts educator with outstanding critical thinking, research, and communication skills. Creativity is a powerful force that inspires my energy and enthusiasm for life. As John Updike says, "Creativity is merely a plus name for regular activity. Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better."
