"What a Relief!" Relief printmaking presentation and art activity
This is a presentation that I used as a visiting artist and a middle school in the twin cities. It is an introduction to relief printing. Students learned the basics of relief printing and we carved simple designs into small rubber stamps that they then printed experimentally.

Teaching style
My MFA thesis research is making as a methodology. Therefore, I do many activities and object-based inquiry and learning because for me, doing leads to knowing. I believe in teaching not just the subject matter, but teaching students how to learn. I am open, flexible, and encourage students to define their own problems. Creative making is a design process through which one learns.
