Student Work
As an art professor, teaching has been a very rewarding journey for me. I have explored and taught different mediums and techniques in various classes, from jewelry designs to 3D, 2D, and digital design. My teaching philosophy revolves around both exploration of material and self motivation, which I have found to be the most effective way to help my students unleash their creative potential.
