Teaching Philosophy:
I tell students that it is important to develop their own visual language. Allow yourself time to experiment with different mediums and techniques to find your own style. Be disciplined, paint every day, and let your enthusiasm show through your work. I always share my professional experience with my students to help them grow as artists.
