CURRENT MISSION

Living in the here and now.

ABOUT ME

I'm originaly from the USA. I moved to Germany because of a man but stayed for the adventure.

I'm very easy going and love to learn new things. It's exciting not knowing what is coming next.

I am currently working as an artist, preschool art teacher, high school mentor. I love creating and translating my thoughts and ideas into images. Teaching kids has also made me more aware of the freshness that this adult life seems to be missing. They teach me patients and how to set and enforce boundaries. Art is an amazing tool to build social and emotional skills which are not taught in schools anymore.

PHILOSOPHY

Live to the glory of God.

Love all and don't judge.

Say you're sorry for your mistakes but not for who you are. Expect the same from others.

If the world gives you lemonade, makes lemons, then the world will be all like.. what?!?

Teach, Learn, Share

Love. Love. Love.

I can teach you about art. We can go visit a museum together and I can tell you why what we see are important enough to be there. Whether or not they are good, we can debate that later.
