You will find her teaching at the Art Center of Citrus County, Citrus Springs community Center, and Withlachoochee Technical College. She enjoys watching her students progress. If someone comes to her class who has never painted before, never held a brush, and they can paint a picture and go home with something they have accomplished, it's really exciting.
