"I am a highly effective and passionate art teacher with over 15 years of experience in the classroom, who is skilled in a wide array of artistic mediums and techniques. I obtained my Master´s degree in Art Education at Western Michigan University and the College of Fine Arts at the University of Tasmania, Australia. I specialize in oil paints, charcoal and ceramics, creating commissioned and exhibited artworks.

I am a lifelong learner, creating artwork and traveling the world to enhance my knowledge, understanding and appreciation of art to share with students. I lead annual travel abroad trips to Europe for local high school students, focusing on art history and appreciation.

In the classroom, I enjoy fostering open-mindedness and self-confidence in art appreciation and production, offering individualized support, differentiated instruction, and a variety of resources to ensure success for ALL ages! I'm interested in your personal artistic goals, focus, and ideas, and I will customize our time spent with creative challenges, constructive criticism, and practical advice to enhance your work and growth as an artist. I look forward to guiding and mentoring you on your artistic journey!" less...
