Artist CV
Personal Profile
As an artist, I enjoy exploring new techniques and challenging myself with different materials. My passion for learning and growing as an artist has driven my creative work. As a professor, I aim to inspire my students to do the same, to embrace new technology, try out new skillsets, and challenge themselves with different materials. My goal is to help my students become confident, innovative and versatile artists who are always pushing the boundaries of imagination and creativity.
