Hi! I'm a Sophomore studying Illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design and have been publishing my work for over 5 years. I've led group workshops teaching art fundamentals in person, taught an 8-week online digital art class at The Art School in San Mateo, and have been tutoring students individually for the past year. I'm here to give you the information I wish I had when I began learning on my own.

I started teaching myself how to draw in high school, and know firsthand that art is incredibly difficult to learn. I also know from experience that no matter who you are, with the right practices, all artistic talent can be earned through hard work (I was no prodigy.) My teaching style focuses on the objective fundamentals of 2D artwork. These ideas are equally important in all mediums, but my background allows me to focus particularly on digital art and pencil/charcoal techniques.

If you'd like to learn crucial art fundamentals, 1 to 5-point perspective, figure drawing, portraiture, how to draw from imagination, and more, I believe I'm a good fit to help you achieve your goals. I can also give advice regarding building art portfolios for colleges or any other reason. Please reach out to me if you'd like to schedule a lesson and I'll do my best to accommodate your timing preferences. Thank you!" less...
