My goal is for artists to make new friends playing art-inspired games or activities and create some fun, colorful artwork using simple supplies you may already have.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA in Art and spent several years working with professional artists to create art for publications such as Bon Appetit magazine and the Williams-Sonoma catalog. My personal style, as reflected in my own artwork over the years, is more abstract, graphic, and even impressionistic. I have enjoyed working with vibrant colors through markers, paints, chalk pastels and more. I worked with young learners for several years when I was in charge of a volunteer- lead art program in public schools that focused on art elements and art masters. We did many different thematic projects and used different media each month. I have also taught a wide variety of art classes here on Outschool from my own catalog of classes, for camps, and schools and, as part of a team with other online educators, collaborating on themes and activities. I continue to search for and develop more projects incorporating fun compositions and techniques. I love discovering how one technique can have unexpected results and even be used in new ways. Sharing these colorful and simple ideas with young artists is exciting - I often learn from them as well as they express themselves!
