What is the aim or goal of your writing: "To make a difference in the art educational process; to share with as wide as audience as possible my notions of the creative process as an artist, writer and educator, and to grant credit to those artists whose achievements have been ignored throughout time (American Women Painters of the 1930's and 1940's) and (The Spirit of American Art: The Depression Years). Writing became a product of my teaching and my painting as well as a stimulus for both."
