Then we have my son Kevin who is a senior at Nazareth College studying Art Education.  He just started his student teaching today, at an elementary school, grades K-5 in Greece, NY.   What a thrill!  The minute he walked in the door today, he collapsed from exhaustion from the draining teacher day.

Kev is a clay guy, makes amazing artful ceramics!   What’s even more exciting is that Kevin attends my college alma mater.  On May 8th he will graduate from Nazareth College with a degree in Art Education, exactly 30 years after i received my Art Education degree from Nazareth.  It’s such an honor.


Kevin’s twin, Brian does amazing woodwork, and has a flair for music.  While i never pushed my kids in the “arts as a career” direction, i always encouraged their creativity with good art supplies, journals and sketchbooks, and teaching them fancy techniques.  I cherish those times, they grew up way too fast. 


I’m so amazed at their passion and creativity, and extremely proud of the great contributions they are making in our world.
