However, her preference would be within a metal casting/foundry & welding sculpture studio if she had the space & time.

She is constantly trying new courses & art classes to better her craft & apply it to her students work to build upon their skills & teach them new ways of thinking, development & style. She is eager to become part of Colgan & start swimming with the Sharks!
