Teaching Philosophy

Observation-based, representational drawing and painting as an exploratory, supplementary, or primary artistic practice benefits beginner, returning, and experienced artists. Working from an academic training and current artistic practice rooted in art history and specific to the present, my goal is to give students the tools to express their own individual artistic perception by structuring, simplifying, and ultimately representing on paper or canvas what they see, or what they envision.
