Artist Philosophy:
I believe that knowledge is power, which is why my own teaching style centers around providing students with strong foundations. I get excited when preparing design challenges for my students that help them learn solid techniques while developing work in their own artistic voice. No two projects are ever the same in my classroom. When students have a deeper understanding of technique and process, their creative expression become limitless. My hope is that providing such sold base helps inspire confidence in my students to take on their own artistic journey.
