Here I would like to share a few of my paintings.  As a student I enjoyed sketching. Later, when I started teaching, I used to sketch book characters as I imagined them. I encouraged my students to do the same. That way we combined art with language coming up with some amazing activities. Today, as a parent of three, I don’t have much time for painting.  However, whenever an opportunity presents itself – I seize it. For me, painting, like poetry writing, is therapeutic.
