I was an art teacher for public and homeschoolers for 25 years. I helped many schools in the Puget Sound develope art classes in the grade schools. I sat on the board for Snohomish County schools, to create the art curriculum. I have written an art workbook of my level 1 curriculum out of 3 levels. I do lapidary stone cutting, pen and ink, pastels, acrylics, oils, etc.
