Educator

I developed and founded the Undergraduate and Graduate Art Therapy Programs at Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts. I have served as Director of both the Art Education and Art Therapy programs, and I currently lead the Graduate Art Therapy Program.

As a professor, I teach a wide range of courses across Art Therapy, Counseling, and Studio Art, bringing together clinical insight and creative practice to support the next generation of practitioners and artists.

Artist
As an artist, I create and exhibit multidimensional work and conceptual installations that address  social issues. I also create plein air paintings that explore and honor the beauty of the natural world.

My artwork investigates the plight of refugees, the realities of genocide, and the ways systems of surveillance emerge and impact communities. Through these works, I aim to raise awareness and inspire meaningful dialogue through visual expression.
