Teaching style
My teaching philosophy has grown from year of watching how students respond to a creative, safe space. I try to build a classroom that feels more like a cozy, welcoming studio than a traditional school setting. In my room, you’ll usually hear soft music playing, someone making coffee or tea, and tables of students talking while they work. It has the energy of a quilting circle—relaxed, steeped in community, and full of stories.
I pay close attention to what each student needs. I watch how they interact, listen to what they say (and don’t say), and use those small pieces of information to support their growth. My job is to help each of them get what they need. And beyond the classroom, I try to show up as a collaborator and mentor.
At the heart of it all, I believe my art room should be a place where kids learn who they are. If they leave with stronger artistic skills, that’s wonderful. But if they leave feeling more grounded, more confident, and more connected to themselves and others, then I know the work mattered.
