About

I am an art librarian, an art educator, an artist, and a curator.

I work as an Art/Reference and Instruction Librarian at the University of South Carolina Beaufort in Beaufort, South Carolina. For the past three years, I also served as Director and Co-Director of the Sea Islands Center Gallery, the art gallery of the Department of Visual Art & Design at USCB, where I developed a passion for sharing the creative work of artists. I have a BFA in Painting/Drawing and a BA in Art History from the University of Georgia, a Master’s Degree in Art Education from the University of Georgia, and a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science from the University of South Carolina. I have about ten years of art teaching experience, having taught art from K12 through college, and I have worked in a variety of libraries and in art-related jobs.

I am interested in the creative and research processes of artists, as well as teaching students to inquire about art and ideas. I am also interested in our aesthetic experiences with nature and how these experience inform creative work and how nature experiences can be incorporated into pedagogy. I work within a feminist construct and have a background in multicultural art education and theory. All of these areas also inform my librarian practice and philosophies of teaching and practice.

This website features my work as an artist, an art librarian, an art educator, and a curator.

And yes, I do believe they are all connected!
