My goal is to guide artists in elevating both their craft and art business to new heights through insightful critiques and engaging discussions on the nuances of professional artistic practices. I find joy fostering opportunities for students to discover and develop their unique artistic voices. Whether drawing inspiration from historical or contemporary artists, tapping into these rich resources enhances the strength of each student’s work.
In the mentorship journey, I will offer constructive critiques, often supplementing them with images from artists whose work aligns with the creative endeavors of my students. I firmly believe that to advance one’s art, it’s crucial to not only refine artistic techniques but also embrace the business side of the craft. I’m here to address inquiries on social media strategies, building and nurturing email lists, reaching out to past buyers, and maintaining an effective website.
The course I envision is designed to be open-ended, providing support in both fortifying artistic skills and refining business practices. I’m committed to assisting artists in their quest to transcend boundaries and truly thrive in the dynamic realm of art and entrepreneurship.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am deeply intrigued by history and the gradual passage of time evident in weathered frescoes, worn paint on building walls, and the intricate textures of the natural world.
To emulate these textures in my work, I use multiple paint layers, marks, and imperfections created by the use of unconventional art-making tools such as trowels, scrapers, sandpaper, and chisels.
My color choices are guided purely by my intuition. I incorporate hints of landscapes, mountains, trees, and mirrored water elements in my art, influenced by my upbringing in the mountains, and time spent outdoors under the trees.
