I have a passion for teaching young students and providing them with opportunities to become creative thinkers, criticial observers and reflective artists. I guide their explorations in a wide variety of media, so that they learn to express their ideas confidently in a visual language that is their own. I encourage students to explore personal and global themes from their own perspective and engage in conversation about different points of view. Through their own art making, and through immersion in artists’ works, my students learn about themselves, about their communities, and how to engage with the larger world around them.

I have taught in variety of settings with students of all ages. The current focus of my own learning and sharing is to bring artistic practices and inquiry out of the classroom and into therapeutic settings.
