Before coming to Teachers College, I actively engaged providing creative music/art outlets for the local youth, participating in church activities, and collecting music for my hobby as a DJ. My most notable art project, was a collaboration with Chinese Artist - Ai WeiWei, in the summer of 2014 in New Mexico. I am also a part-time professional artist, having shown art, mostly installations throughout the American continent. I have worked in Education for over 20 years as a K-8 art teacher and adjunct Art instructor at small colleges in New Mexico and Arizona. My educational background includes a BFA – Sculpture from Arizona State University, MFA - Sculpture from University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a MEd – Education from Washington State University. I am currently a Doctoral student in the Art Education program at Teachers College – Columbia University. I have three children, 2 in college and one in high school who lives with me.

The symposium, Community as Educator, invites artist-designers-educators-scholars, individuals and collectives, to come to Teachers College Columbia University to share their work, explore the questions they address focusing on how they enter and create new spaces for art practices and the relational and educational possibilities these present. An expanded vision of cultural practice(s) embraces very directly the making of new minds and dignifies important practices of caring. Art-design practices, already sites for diverse learning encounters involving cross-pollinations of groups and practices, present exciting possibilities for reimagining education on a global scale. Most intriguingly, is the possibility that within this umbrella of social and cultural change, schools as we know them will soon no longer exist in their present forms. Working across digital and other expressive materials, artist-designers are reshaping communities giving new presence to lives of the mind and practices of caring.Īround the world, activist voices offer new and fresh possibilities for human interactions in social contexts and are redefining how and where learning takes place both formally and informally.
