“I begin with an idea and then it becomes
something else.” - Pablo Picasso

          As an art educator for over 35 years I have always marveled at the quality, diversity and creativity exhibited by my students.  Picasso’s quotation speaks to the essence of the creative process. You begin, but are never sure where your self expression, style or vision will lead you. Sometimes your path is familiar and sometimes unfamiliar, sometimes successful and sometimes not so much but it's a path to stay on none the less. My students possess a vitality and energy to embark on a path, engage in the process and create something unique. Their adventurous spirit is and always will be a source of inspiration. For many years I have steered them as they courageously take a blank canvas and embark on their own path of creative expression. How fortunate we are as artists , to walk with eyes wide open and have the creative spirit embedded in our souls.
