Special training and studies

I attended a graduate teaching class at Florida State designed for graduate art students to learn and create classroom experiences as well as develop a course curriculum and prospectus. I created three curriculum’s based around painting, design, and drawing.

I chose to take a special museum studies course taught by the curator of the FSU Museum. This course concentrated around the many jobs a museum employs. Our projects would involve researching shows and curating our own based upon the rules of history and public appeal.

 I took a Psychology course to improve my cognitive analysis skills on art. My studies involved abstract art; studying the effects of color and abstraction on the normal human and psyche and how it may be influenced by suppression of creativity as a child.

Freelance Professional Experience

I have operated my own gallery at Blue Star Arts Complex in San Antonio Texas.  I curated and sold my own work in the gallery while managing, advertising, and organizing gallery receptions. I run and update this website and have a reputation with regional and national organizations. I have collectors around the globe and regular commission requests to produce unique artwork.
