My Passion and Philosophy of teaching: I help students, children and adults gain the skills they need to communicate their ideas effectively and make art that is meaningful to them. I challenge all my students to try new things and to achieve what they thought they couldn’t. I incorporate cross-curricular & real world experiences organically in the art room and art studio. Art Brings peace to the soul!

Eddie enjoys Global Travel, Community Service & Nature.
