BIO

My expertise is in illustration, digital media, screen-printing, drawing, painting, mixed media. As an art instructor, my journey has been profoundly shaped by my love for narrative art and a lifelong passion for teaching. I believe that storytelling is at the heart of creativity, and I strive to inspire my students to explore their own narratives through visual expression. My goal is to foster an environment where experimentation and play are not just encouraged but celebrated. I want my students to feel free to take risks and discover their unique artistic voices.

Beyond the classroom, my hobbies—soccer, skiing, and a commitment to lifelong learning—fuel my enthusiasm and creativity. These activities teach me the value of teamwork, resilience, and curiosity, all of which I aim to instill in my students. I am dedicated to guiding them on their artistic journeys, helping them find joy in the process and confidence in their abilities. Together, we will create a vibrant community where art becomes a powerful means of connection and self-discovery.
