Born to teach...
I
believe that each of us have certain skills that we are born with but
that we have to discover as we grow up. I know that as much as I love
music, singing is not something I was ever cut out to do. I would have
loved to be a scientist or mathematician, but I stink at arithmetic.
Ever
since I can remember, I loved to play "school". And of course, being
the oldest, I always got to be the teacher while my little sister had to
endure my "lessons". Years later, my desire to teach became reality
when I was hired as a high school art teacher in Wayne, NJ. I enjoyed
every moment of teaching at that school. I discovered that students who
were bored with the classes they were assigned to seemed to blossom
when they came to art class. Sometimes my regular classes would be
filled with kids who asked for passes out of study hall to come to my
class to work on their projects. Today, thanks to Facebook, I have
reconnected with former students. Many of them are now almost at
retirement age...yikes, am I that old??? Anyway, one of the nicest
compliments I've ever gotten was from a couple of ladies who became art
teachers because of me. Wow, I was so humbled by their comments and I
can't imagine a greater privilege than inspiring another human being in a
positive way!
I
love teaching my painting workshops but I don't enjoy packing
everything up and traveling around the country. So, that is why I am
offering my workshops close to my home in Inverness, Florida. This is
an especially beautiful part of Florida's west coast...we call it the
Nature Coast. When you visit this area, you'll understand why.
