I believe art has the power to foster creativity, confidence, connection, and self-expression. Through private lessons, workshops, paint nights, and collaborative community programming, I have helped children, teens, and adults explore visual art in welcoming and supportive environments.

From 2011–2015, I developed and facilitated visual art experiences through my studio, Technique Art & Design, working with participants of varying ages, interests, and skill levels. Programs included youth workshops, private instruction, paint nights, interdisciplinary art and wellness collaborations, and community-based creative experiences.

Programs included:

• Private and small-group art instruction

• Youth workshops for ages 7–13

• Secondary-level classroom instruction

• Adult paint nights

• Art and wellness collaborations

• Studio-based and on-location programming

Mediums taught included drawing, painting, mixed media, and air-dry clay.
