“Teaching sustains and inspires me—it’s an exchange of energy, curiosity, and connection.”

Teaching has been an essential thread throughout my life—an ongoing dialogue between making, thinking, and engaging with others through art. Over the years, I have taught at several Philadelphia-area colleges and universities, including the University of Pennsylvania and the University of the Arts.

In 1995, my husband, David, and I co-founded Ravens Run Arts, a visual and performing arts school in New Hope, Pennsylvania, where we served as co-directors for a decade. The school’s theme-based curriculum brought together visual art, writing, dance, theater, and music, culminating each summer in a collaborative final performance. Ravens Run continues to thrive today, carrying forward the spirit of creative collaboration that shaped its origins.

The school’s design was inspired by Griot New York—a collaboration between sculptor Martin Puryear, musician Wynton Marsalis, and choreographer Garth Fagan. Their seamless blending of visual, musical, and physical vocabularies inspired me; their wordless communication blurred boundaries between genres, forming a new language of connection that continues to inform my teaching.

My dedication to community engagement led me to co-found Artists in Residence, a nonprofit that brought working artists into local schools across Bucks and Hunterdon Counties. From 1997–2002, as president and creative director, I developed integrative, curriculum-sensitive programs connecting professional artists with students and teachers—embedding art into the daily rhythm of public education.

For the past thirty years, my teaching home has been Penn State Abington, where I serve as Associate Professor of Art. My courses often bridge disciplines—combining art, environmental inquiry, and social action—and are grounded in the belief that learning through making can transform both individuals and communities. Partnerships with institutions like the Barnes Foundation and The Moravian TileWorks have deepened this approach, creating opportunities for students to learn directly within professional and historic contexts.

Interdisciplinary learning and high-impact experiences are at the heart of my teaching philosophy.

I can’t imagine my life without teaching. It fuels my curiosity, shapes my studio practice, and continually renews my belief in art’s capacity to connect people and ideas.
