My Life in Academia
"ARS LONGA, VITA BREVIS"

I am a retired professor of Art and an art administrator. Now that I have retired, I carve wood and paint. My Art continues to be informed by much of what I learned while teaching. A focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail are two of the important lessons that teaching has brought to my practice as an artist. Another is the lesson of persistence with the process. Any success that I may have had in the class/studio and as an art administrator mirrors the joy and successes that I have enjoyed in my studio work and artmaking.
