"Nurturing a student's creative spirit is a preeminent aspect of being an artist. As I teach, I delight in sharing knowledge, humor, skills, and experience; nurturing and cultivating everyone's innate creativity and imagination. One of the greatest joys for me, right up there with hiking, playing jazz trumpet with my friends, or making my own artwork, is seeing the joy in a student's eyes as they discover their talents, build skills, confidence, and become accomplished in creating their own artwork. Roger lives and works in Claremont, NH.
