As a teaching artist, I love to share what I have discovered in my lifelong studio practice with committed students who are ready to engage in their personal and artistic growth.

My teaching is informed by my 30-year career as a scenic artist, training at the Florence Academy of Art, and ongoing research into motion picture scenic art history.

I am excited to share the thrilling diversity of what is possible within the mediums and discipline of painting.
