Experience
Visual Arts Teacher with a focus on Drawing skills & techniques. I create guided step by step lessons for late elementary & middle school levels and some senior. I teach drawing in pencil, oil pastel and painting in Watercolor among other techniques. You will also find art history inspired lessons for middle school introducing famous art movments like Impressionism, Pointillism and Post Impressionists like Vincent van Gogh along with American artists like Georgia O'Keeffe. I am also an artist and believe in sharing what I practice.
Teaching style
My strength as a teacher has always been in differentiation. I prefer an individualized approach that takes individual students’ personal interests into account and, in this way, promotes engagement. I’m known for my ability to help motivate learners who have formerly had no interest in art by developing fun, alternative activities that provide a positive experience of art-making while fulfilling curriculum standards.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Other than seeing individual students excel in my classroom, my most shining teacher moments are when I’ve been involved in student directed activities. I currently facilitate a special art program at a middle school that introduces students to a range of mediums and techniques while nurturing their own personal growth.

My own education history
I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts at LaTrobe University in Bendigo in 2013. I then returned to LaTrobe to attain my Masters of Education in 2016.
Additional biographical information
Because I’m interested in a wide range of art styles and mediums, I have broad and diverse experience as an artist. I have worked professionally in drawing, printmaking, painting, film, animation and video game creation. You can check out my artist profile here.
NetSpaceArts.com is my latest creative project: a forum that offers quality art resources to teachers and homeschool educators. Through NetSpaceArts, I also run art lessons via online video conference, that are catered to individual learners.
