Hello! I am a lifelong creative.  I hold a BFA in Studio Art, and have an active studio practice.  I currently work mostly in painting, drawing, and printmaking, but I love all sorts of making and have experience working with photography, fibre, installation art, audio, ceramics, and more!  

I am passionate about conservation, the environment, world history, art history, and minority cultures, and these themes and connections come up in my classes as appropriate.  Art always has context. 

I have experience teaching art classes to children in galleries, schools, and community settings, and am excited to take this experience online to create dynamic learning experiences.  I believe art is so many things, self-expression, discovery, skill-building, empowering, and healing.   Whenever possible, I try to include in my classes opportunities to learn new skills alongside opportunities for personal expression: structure and creativity.  I hope to help my students learn to notice the world around them and inside them and find ways to translate that visually. 

Something fun about me: I love to explore!  I love to travel, hike forest trails, and discover new places and experiences.
