Visual art is my life. Nothing fulfills me more than motivating the next generation of creative minds. Most people dream of meeting their favorite artists. I am fortunate enough to work with mine on a daily basis as I play a part in curating their creative passions and curiosities.
My enthusiasm for teaching art is bolstered by formal training across various creative mediums (dance, film, collage, sculpture, creative writing, and architecture), and incredible classroom results. I am specialized in curating learning experiences that inspire an understanding and appreciation of art. I take pride in developing interactive art curricula synchronizing classroom procedures, art history, and various traditional and digital art disciplines-- photography, drawing, filmmaking, drawing, painting, dancing, collaging, sculpting, assemblages, graphic design, printmaking-- and then I adapt my lesson plan to not only accommodate the different grade levels, but also the varying needs and learning styles of each particular student.
I am called to be an art teacher. A part of this job is fostering and strengthen relationships with my students. I always find a way to integrate their interest within my lesson plans. My goal is to create an environment where everyone is accepted by honoring and nourishing each student's individuality.
