I have been an adjunct professor at Lord Fairfax Community College for 21 years. I have been recognized as an Outstanding Secondary Art Educator for the state of Virginia. 

How does your art major/minor inform your career?
Occasionally I do wedding and portrait work on the side. I exhibit my work regularly. My program is highly recognized. 

What are some of the most valuable skills you gained from the School of Art, Design and Art History?

Learn as much as you can. 
Work as hard as you can and make as many connections as you can.
