As a middle school student my art teacher said that my artwork was a waste of canvas. It took me a long time and a degree from University of Florida to find strength within myself to trust the world with my art. I want to begin sharing my students' artwork now. Each piece that they create is a piece of themselves and for that reason alone is beautiful. If the only thing that we learn from a piece is what never to do again, we are still learning, creating and growing as artist. I love my job.
