Teaching Philosophy

We are all hard-wired to learn; it is something that occurs as naturally as breathing. Research has shown us that the ability to make connections and form ideas is at its peak during the years of infancy and toddlerhood and that as adults, keeping a “child’s mind” keeps us young. This ability to experience curiosity, wonder and awe is a blessing that makes our existence both meaningful and miraculous. As an artist, educator and parent, it is my responsibility to facilitate, nurture and protect these natural precursors to learning.
