Robin and I

Robin is very courageous with a love of the outdoors. What came first, the courage or that love of the outdoors? I also like Robin's sense of humor and the way she speaks to the class. With Robin I appreciate that there isn't any fluff, what you see is what you get. The honesty and willingness to share is very much appreciated. I look forward to finding out the answer to my previous question and learning from her style of speaking to our class as a tool in my own teaching.


I take my sketch pad/pencils everywhere with me: camping, hiking, walks to the park, bike ride, and even water polo tournaments. It has been hard for me to use words to express what I think and feel at times especially when I feel intense things. Drawing and painting has enabled me to be whole and amazingly over the years grow better at expressing things in words and writing. I am passionate about the arts and human expression as well as just being creative and adventurous in life.

  1. I love art too! I can fall into a painting at SAM and still be standing there 30 minutes later. It always amazed me how someone can take a pencil or paint and transform a white page into ART! Wow. The emotion behind it is so powerful. So the fact that you like to draw or paint tells me you are a person of great feeling, who doesn't shy away from both the messy and the fabulousness of life!!

    What came first? The love of the outdoors, the courage has taken me decades to find again after it was ripped away from me.
