My recent work in art education and curriculum studies explores the use of arts-based educational research as a complementary method to other qualitative forms of research. The foci of my field-based studies has taken me into elementary classrooms where I am interested in studying the professional development of artists and teachers working together to integrate the arts into all subject areas. A listing of my recent publications can be found on my website.
