I specialize in supporting students who are developing material skill, professional practice, and their creative voice. They are motivated to clarify their visual & critical thinking, improve techniques, find strategies for their working process, address creative blocks, build language to talk about their work.
Over 15 yrs facilitating creative practices internationally and in academia, I equip all student levels to confidently navigate future pathways. My lessons are structured around student needs, goals, and interests, informed by classes I developed and taught in undergraduate and graduate programs, and from my wide perspective and experience in contemporary art.
My students come from architecture, drawing, sculpture, painting, performance, philosophy, art history, poetry, biology, engineering, filmmaking and more. Some students are professionals seeking sustained attention, critical dialogue, and structure. I keep a neurodivergence-sensitive approach to accommodate wide range of learning styles.
My network & experience enables me to advise student outlook with a current view.
