Education
Background
If you are interested in lessons, please contact me. Currently classes are being offered in pottery, sculpture, painting and drawing.
I am available for lectures on all the artistic works I specialize in, and also Native American art and culture. Native American stories are key elements to the lectures. I find young and old audiences enjoy the presentations. Formats for these lectures can be made specific to the groups involved. Hands-on workshops in clay, videos and slides are used to enhance the learning experience.
In May I delivered the commencement speech for the 2002 Graduation Ceremony for the Aabizikaawin Adult and Alternative Education school in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. It was held at the Soaring Eagle Conference Center.
In June I was on the cover of the Central Michigan University Alumni Magazine. It was a great honor to represent my university and I was thrilled to be chosen for the "creativity" issue.
I have been selected to be one of two "Indian Artist Liasons" for the Eiteljorg's Indian Art Market held each year at the Indianapolis Museum. This will be a two year term. The position will help connect the artists and the Eiteljorg staff during the June art market. Having liasons will aid in making the market run smoothly and adress the concerns of the artists participating
I was chosen as "One of the Top 100 Students Who Attended Central Michigan University over the past 100 Years". This was a great honor. As I turned the pages, I recognized many people, then I turned the page once more, and saw myself!. |

Over the years I have not only created and marketed my own art
throughout the country, but I found time, even while attending college,
to teach art to children and adults. I enjoy working with students of
all ages; watching them turn a lump of clay into a work of art. I try
to instill their personal experiences into a "record" of how they see
things.
