Students from all educational and artistic backgrounds are welcome! As a former Waldorf teacher, there is nothing I miss more than guiding students through the beautiful art work aesthetic of this learning approach. This weekly meet up will guide early artists through a different Waldorf- themed image; always in harmony with the current season. Young artists will practice and develop an innate comprehension of color while allowing their creativity to flourish through this stunning imagery. This is an interactive, instructional class with an intentionally serene approach. There will be some incorporation of form drawing but the bulk of this class will be emphasis on the imagery as well as the intentional, slow mood.
Learning Goals
Students will experience and appreciate their art supplies and colors through orderly experimentation and shared experiences. Participants will enhance their fine motor skills while allowing their imaginations to drift as needed.

Hello, Art enthusiasts! I am a multi-disciplinary artist working in New York City. As a teaching artist, I have been working in Public school in-school residency programs for the past nineteen years(!)...most recently with a concentration in Visual Arts. Many of these partnerships involved very direct coordination with students’ academic teachers, so that the Art projects enriched comprehension. I prioritize recyclable materials, and their environmental importance. I have extensions experience with literacy, and STEM-based residencies, in particular.
Over the past few years I have worked with every age, from early childhood to high school. I have seen first hand, how the affects of arts education through residency partnerships transform and enhance students’ lives. I am often very inspired by the creativity and commitment young students bring to these projects. In addition to Visual Art, I teach music composition, ‘Cello, and Guitar.
I am an alumna of the Juilliard School and the Teaching Artist Project. My supporting teacher experience at the Rudolph Steiner School in Manhattan combines Waldorf ideology with these other skills. I am on the NYC DOE substitute teacher roster. This mixture of public and private practice has prepared me to serve students from a wide range of backgrounds.
I try to incorporate physical balance into art making, often a skill that is considered “inactive”. Over the past two years my mindful Art workshops have been requested by public schools and administrative teams across NYC. I have worked extensively with groups and individuals on the spectrum, and as a Visual Art Consultant for students dealing with trauma.
I am a 2020 Legacy Arts Project recipient, and recently received the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable Teaching Artist Grant.
