My journey as an artist has been an expedition of moving beyond art for arts sake. There is a constant drive to use my creative energy to solve social problems, change lives, and heal spirits. These desires lead to the natural progression of me becoming a teaching artist. On a very simplified level a teaching artist is a farmer who plants seeds of creativity. In my case the seeds are planted in both teachers and students. Beyond planting the seeds of creativity there are many layers that I go through to strengthen the learning process for teachers and students such as: How can I assist both normal and disabled students to reach milestones? How can I inspire a teacher to move out of their comfort zone and be a rejuvenated educator? How can I un-wrap the artist within everyone I interact with? How can I renew faith in children who society has neglected? One thousand students and a couple hundred teachers later it has been affirmed overwhelmingly the arts, when taken out its comfort zone, can create effects bigger than itself, solve social problems, change lives, and heal spirits. This in turn inspires me as artist to paint, to write, to sing, to dance, to breathe.
