"Rekindling a studio practice or applying to art school or residencies can be overwhelming, and it helps to have support. I offer guidance to accompany your growth.

Absolute beginners are welcome here. Maybe you connected to art in childhood and are ready to explore it again. Customized lessons cover the fundamentals of drawing from observation, intro to color mixing and more.

Sessions may be a meditative experience of art making, a dialogue about creative challenges and possibilities, or an organic combination of both. My role is to see the big picture of where you're headed while always staying flexible; I believe this responsiveness is at the heart of maintaining creativity through the ebb and flow of life.

We can also craft an art statement that gets to the heart of your vision. I have an ability to see beyond what is said, and am with you from initial brainstorming and dialogue through the meticulous details of final editing. The resulting statements are useful for your own website, as well as applications for academic programs, grants, residencies and exhibitions.

I have 18 years of experience and have supported numerous students in gaining admission to top art high schools, colleges and graduate programs (LaGuardia, SAIC, SVA, SCAD and others). I also teach college level Art History and can support you in structuring and revising Art History papers.

Message me to get started, or with any questions you might have. Please note: Lessons are conducted online.

My own artwork has been shown internationally and across the United States at the Pensacola Museum of Art, the Contemporary Museum of Baltimore, and FLAG Foundation in New York. I was awarded a Chenven Foundation Grant, a Smack Mellon Studio Fellowship, and Artist Residency Grants the La Napoule Art Foundation in La Napoule, France, and Tilleard Projects on Lamu Island, Kenya. My solo exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art was named one of the Top Ten Art Shows of the Year." less...
