PHILOSOPHY AND INSTRUCTION
I am a committed, passionate, and fun art teacher who believes in the power of art to inspire and transform people!
My art classes help students to learn basic foundational skills and yet go beyond basic rendering; to incorporate students’ meaningful stories, interests, and values into their personal art that becomes resonant for both artist and viewer.
Beginning through advanced can achieve creative/ technical breakthroughs, taking their work to new levels of mastery.
