I consider myself a multidisciplinary artist performer with a passion for teaching and sharing my wealth of knowledge and experience. I consider playing the piano an empowering skill that I use to move people through feelings and emotions. Showing people the therapeutic magic of expressing and revealing inner thoughts outwards can be a soothing, gratifying and very healing process. I convey this message through my teaching and my unique interconnection of the arts curriculum. Color is a power that directly influences the soul... Color is the keyboard...the artist is the hand that plays. An artist performer creates colors through musical sounds.
