Teaching Philosophy

Art is a language, dialogic and ever changing. As artists we search to find context. My job as a teacher is to expose students to what has come before them, to move them toward visual literacy and to help them develop skills and conceptual practices together.

I facilitate collaborations and encourage my students to embrace interdisciplinary opportunities. I encourage experimentation and nurture confidence building so that as individuals they can develop their own innovative voices and create their own possibilities.
