"In my own professional practice I get my inspiration from a multitude of sources, in an eclectic and somewhat freeform manner. Overall trends in my work have been the exploration of 'traditional' views of masculinities and their juxtaposition with fabrications, patterns and colors more often associated with softer aesthetics."

"Central and parallel to my philosophy of teaching has been an analysis of my own experiences with learning. Not unlike most youngsters, I knew at an early age that I had learned more from 'Ms. Jones' than I had from 'Ms. Smith' - I just did not know why. As I grew older and began to focus on becoming a teacher, I recognized that the quality and quantity of my learning, along with the motivation I had developed to further pursue knowledge, was a direct result of how I was taught. The process was clear. I learned best from teachers who were enthusiastic about their subject material, who had a seemingly endless repository of knowledge and who relished in sharing and imparting that knowledge. I also learned best from those who gave me more than half a chance to succeed and provided encouragement every step of the way. I learned best when teachers expressed a belief in my abilities and set standards for me to strive for. I learned best when my teachers believed that significant learning is not possible unless the learner's feelings and intellect are both involved, and I learned best from those teachers who were, themselves, examples of excellence."

"Fashion is that elusive element in clothing that baffles everyone. It applies to the shape, form, color and composition of clothing. It is the simplest line, the most self-explanatory design, where the principle of the dress is most clearly stated and wins us over. Fashion is not spinach. We all love it."

"Knowledge is a virtue that multiplies itself in the process of being shared. I feel I am always learning when I teach, because seeing a familiar subject through the eyes of the students, how they interpret it and what they are able to produce from it, renews my passion. I was motivated while working in the fashion industry, but the end was normally a product that would go from store window to sales rack each season. In teaching, the end is a person. I love to see their talent bloom as they acquire the skills for a successful career."

"I view the way we dress as a form of expression of who we are as individuals and members of a community. I understand the fashion industry as a voice for an ever-evolving culture. Fashion allows conformity to the group and yet freedom of expression through personal style. As a business, fashion is a large job generating a system of interdependent industries from production to diffusion. My role is to prepare individuals to engage in fashion careers aware of the psychological and economic impact and social responsibility of their activity."

"To illustrate fashion is to create a fictitious, idealistic world-a utopia that invites all. To unhinge a beauty that has yet to blossom fully, that is what fashion illustration means to me. Art has been a part of my life since day one, but it was finding the puzzle piece fit for my passion that did not unfold until college. While I still enjoy painting, sewing, and other aspects of the art world, fashion illustration is my one true love. Teaching fashion illustration only enhances my love for fashion illustration as well as inspires me further. I am often surprised at how much my students inspire my own artwork on a regular basis."

"While living in Paris, France, I was chosen to create a revolutionary trend-tracking product, inspired by my personal work style and aesthetic vision, for Promostyl, one of the most influential design and forecasting companies worldwide."

"Being a professional fashion illustrator has been a dream of mine since high school, and the satisfaction I feel when producing drawings that please is extraordinary. Teaching novice fashion design students the skills that I possess and seeing the joy when they realize they can draw is equally as rewarding. I thrive on sharing the creative process and contributing to the growth and enrichment of others, something that flows from educational endeavors and can be lacking in the business world.

"Striving to assist students with their analytical process, challenging and questioning their plans and actions, making sure that they are convinced of their creative ideas and decisions, helping them remain flexible and open to different ways of looking at things so they expand their own observations and abilities, this is my inspiration for becoming a teacher."

FASH 219 Intro to Fashion Sketching

"Moved by the world around me, different cultures, natural wonders, man-made achievements, I am driven to capture the beauty of what I see in my drawings and artistic creations. I love to work with my hands, molding, forming, creating images and 3-D objects out of textiles, stones, metal, shells, combining antique, worn, aged artifacts with fresh, fragile, precious rarities. I seek to be honest, humorous, inventive and emotive and am committed to transmitting my joie de vivre to others, thereby enriching their lives as well as mine."

I won't ever stop being a designer or thinking creatively. It is as natural to me as taking a breath. It's not a choice, it is simply who I am."

"Introducing concepts and engaging our students in introspective dialogue that examines contemporary themes within the framework of modern design is my greatest joy in teaching. The subject matter often presents opportunities for students to offer insight and pose challenging questions through which they may gain a discerning outlook. More importantly, maintaining a professional yet jovial rapport with my students speaks volumes to the necessity of sharing ideas in an academic setting."
