As a teaching artist, I am passionate about creating inclusive and dynamic learning environments that inspire creativity and critical thinking. My pedagogy is rooted in socially engaged art practices, interdisciplinary approaches, and a deep commitment to making art accessible to all. I design and facilitate classes and workshops that cater to diverse age groups and abilities, from kids to adults, encouraging participants to explore a wide range of mediums and techniques. Whether it’s a community newspaper project, a photography class that blends traditional and experimental approaches, or a printmaking workshop using everyday materials, my goal is to foster artistic growth, collaboration, and a sense of agency in every participant. I believe in the power of art to build connections, share stories, and spark change, and I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of creative thinkers and makers.
As a speaker and visiting artist, I bring a wealth of experience and a passion for engaging audiences in thought-provoking conversations about art, education, and community. My talks and presentations delve into topics such as socially engaged pedagogy, interdisciplinary approaches to art-making, and the role of creativity in fostering social change. I aim to inspire and challenge participants by sharing insights from my work as a teaching artist, photographer, and graphic designer, highlighting the intersections of these disciplines. As a visiting artist, I collaborate with institutions, schools, and community organizations to lead workshops, critiques, and lectures tailored to their unique contexts and goals. I strive to create an interactive and inclusive environment where ideas can be exchanged, and artistic practices can be expanded.
