Daughter of two artist parents and former co-owner of the Brooklyn, NYC Tu-Can Duffield Gallery of Art I began painting at an early age.Currently, National Board Certified in Adolescent Science I discovered a fond interest  and connection with the critters in my Newport News, VA yard. After a GEMS workshop and coaching teachers as a NSF Science Resource Teacher in NNPS system I've adopted the name "Lady Bird Beetle Teacher." Teaching life science, technology and nature through art and literature are a life long goal and passion.
