𐃘 About me:

I am an awarded winning professional artist with an MFA degree from Northwestern University. I possess expertise in various fields of art such as theater designing, fashion designing, illustration, and fine arts. I have taught art to students of all ages, from young artists to graduate students at the university level. My artwork has been displayed and recognized in both Europe and the United States. Currently, I reside on the beautiful Island of Oahu, where I continue to create art. 

𐃘 My Teaching Philosophy:

Picasso once said, “All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Teaching allows me to keep my artistic side alive by constantly exploring new ways to create and appreciate art. As an art teacher, I get to nurture my artistic side too by discovering fresh methods to create and admire art. I push myself to view things from diverse perspectives and experiment with various techniques to teach each young student uniquely.

My teaching philosophy is that all students must have a stimulating creative environment that will foster their artistic, creative, social, and intellectual growth. I approach each student individually by celebrating their specific point of view. 

My goal is to create a class that is never one-note or repetitive, but rather collaborative, interactive and dynamic. I want every student to have a meaningful experience in my class. 
In a safe, process-based environment I invite my students to learn through experimentation, share their ideas and discover the joy of creating art. 

My aim is to support students in feeling confident as they express their creativity and nurture their individual talents. This will be accomplished by teaching them essential art and drawing techniques and skills, and providing guidance on how to view the world from an artistic perspective.

Thank you for reading and I hope to see you in some of my classes!
