Hello, I'm Lainey! In 2023, I received an MFA in Studio from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Before that, I earned dual bachelor's degrees in Art History and Art Practices from The University of Colorado Boulder. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for over a year, I taught printmaking courses including Offset Productions, Advanced Etching, and Screen Printing to college-age students, aged 18-25. I combined hands-on demonstrations with individualized feedback to help students master complex artistic concepts.
My tutoring approach blends academic rigor with real-world application, drawing from my professional experience as a Production Curator at Chairish, Inc., an online marketplace for art and antiques, and my experience as the former Gallery Manager at Vivid Art Gallery, a boutique art gallery in the Chicago area. I excel at making art history accessible by connecting historical movements to contemporary practice, using visual analysis techniques, and encouraging critical thinking through discussion-based learning.
I specialize in one-on-one tutoring for a range of students in high school, college, and beyond, adapting my teaching style to each student's learning preferences. Whether you're struggling with art historical timelines, need help analyzing artworks, or want to develop stronger writing skills for art theory papers, I provide personalized support that builds both confidence and comprehension. My goal is to help students not just memorize facts, but truly understand how art reflects and shapes our world. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
