      Artist, illustrator, Certified art teacher

      I taught abstract, black and white (pigment ink and pencil) miniatures art with students ranging in age from 4 to 84 - with documented positive student feedback. I have an extensive portfolio of work, including international publication. The form of art that I taught has been proven to be of particular benefit to children with attention deficit or concentration difficulties, and to children with non-specific learning difficulties. (I certified as an art teacher in Rhode Island (USA) in 2011.)
